Just in case anyone was waivering in their support of Obama, it is now being reported that Alan Keyes WILL be the republican nominee for Senate from Illinois.

Kos was right, Keyes is a hypocrit, and will surely be crushed by Obama. But he could bring in conservative money from all over the country, which Obama would have to counter.
I hope this does not start a trend of state lines being meaningless in Senate races. Yes I know the Democrats drew first blood with this one due to Hilary Clinton, but the Rethugs complained then, and I'm sure the Dems will complain now. Although I live in IL, I am unsure as to the laws regarding residency in this state for who can be a Senate candidate. I do know, however, that Keyes does not live here, nor has he ever. I would be surprised if he has ever been to IL
Also, remember The Auful Truth episode where Keyes jumps into Michael Moore's mosh pit? I'm sure we'll be seeing that clip many times in the near future.
