Just when I thought I had a handle on the 2008 Presidential candidates, out creeps another. This time it is the always a bride's maid, never a bride, Alan Keyes. He popped up in a debate the other day by having 49 supporters in the state of Iowa. Now, I haven't looked at the polls that closely, and I am not quite certain as to how the questions were worded, but I am pretty certain that if the margin of error is +/- 5%, Keyes is as statistically relevant in the Presidential race as I am.
In fact, I believe I am a stronger candidate than Keyes. Why? I have been employed between 1991 and 2oo7. That's more than I can say for Keyes. According to Wikipedia, between 1987 and today, Keyes has done nothing but run for office as a state senator or presidential in one state or another for most of the last 20 years.
The National Review writes "In fact, alankeyes.com lists the number of people, by state, who have signed the pledge. And in Iowa, the number is…49. In New Hampshire, 18 people have signed the pledge. In South Carolina, 44 have signed. Nationwide, according to the website, a total of 2,678 people have signed the pledge."
2,678 people gets you a Presidential campaign? I've got news for you, I've only had SiteMeter installed on this site for six months, but I have had twice that amount of people visit THIS SITE!
So the way I see it, one of two things is true. Either Alan Keyes is nuts, or I am a viable candidate for President of the United States. President Darth Roker. It kind of rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
