I think we may have a winner for the feeblest endorsement of Alan Keyes from a prominent Illinois Republican. In this vaguely Sovietological nod, Cong. Ray LaHood (R-IL) says, “If the party believes he’s the best candidate for the race, then I’m with him.”
With rather more gusto, Republican Jim Oberweis, who lost out to Jack Ryan in the GOP Senate primary called the Obama-Keyes race “a debate between good on the right and evil on the left” which I take it amounts to an endorsement.
