Alan Keyes

Timothy J. Harris / First Word:
At its national convention Saturday April 26 in Kansas City, the Constitution Party avoided permanent disaster by declining to nominate Alan Keyes for its Presidential candidate. Losing this was a serious blow to Keyes, who left the Republican Party a couple weeks earlier, evidently with an eye on just this prize. His bitter colloquy to supporters after the vote was taken strongly suggests his exit will be as precipitate as his entrance. Grand opening; grand closing. Now the question is whether he will keep his hint of leaving politics for good, or, like a bent nickel, will he come back into circulation again, perhaps when one is least expecting it?
