Illinois GOP narrows list to Alan Keyes & Andrea "Is that a kaleidoscope in your pocket?" Barthwell to replace Jack-Off Ryan

I'm from Illinois. Ycch. Alan Keyes is a total far-right freak. How anyone can seriously even propose him as a candidate is beyond bizarre. Not to mention, this is Illinois folks - I can't imagine anyone I know back home not thinking Keyes is a total moron. I suspect the choice will be Andrea Barthwell, even though she has a hell of a history that is CLEARLY going to become an issue in the campaign. She's been accused of engaging in "lewd and abusive behavior" while working for the Prez. Of course, short of murder (and even then), it's not clear what disqualifies you from running as a Republican nowadays.
