Keyes Enters U.S. Senate Race in Illinois (AP)

I disagree with a lot of the positions that Alan Keyes takes, but one thing I deeply respected him for was his understanding of our federal system, as enviced in the quote from him during the 2000 campaign:

I deeply resent the destruction of federalism represented by Hillary Clinton's willingness to go into a state she doesn't even live in and pretend to represent people there, so I certainly wouldn't imitate it.
So much for respect. I hope this hypocrite chokes big time.

AP - Alan Keyes, the conservative Maryland political commentator whom Illinois Republicans turned to after weeks of searching for a replacement Senate candidate, agreed Sunday to run against a rising Democratic star who has only grown stronger amid GOP scandal and disarray.
