Alan Keyes pisses off GOP suburb in early morning media stunt

[Walt Starr]

Alan Keyes showed up at the Route 59 commuter train station that sits on the border between Naperville and Aurora Illinois. This resulted in a line of cars from the Aurora side over a mile long waiting to turn into the parking lot. Nearly 25% of commuters this morning missed their normal train over this incident, ending up 20 minutes later than usual for work.

The parking lot at the route 59 train station normally is filled up by about 8 AM. This morning it was nearly full at 7 AM due to required accomodations for Keyes show sycophants and the media. This resulted in people who normally take trains a bit later than I not being able to park and thus, being unable to commute to work.

This stunt could cost Keyes yet another percentage point.

I wish there was just one button to push that would vote straight dem for EVERYTHING, instead of having to punch all those darn chads.

[Walt Starr]

I'm just an old fart.

9. Now how could this election get any better. Obama and Not Bush

What a great first election vote.

[Walt Starr]

11. Kerry/Edwards and Obama as the top two slots

That's a HUGE first vote!

[greenbriar]

6. better check the Pres box

it has been reported that for "some reason" when straight dem ticket is punched, it gives the vote to boosh

[Walt Starr]

8. In Illinois, voting a straight Dem ticket works like this

You go through the ballot punching each name that has the (D) after it.

:silly:

[metisnation]

[Gabi Hayes]

13. Crane used to be mine...redistricted to captain Kirk

the CIA operative

my dear, departed mom had Crane at our house many times for coffee/fundraisers

[Gabi Hayes]

14. we have BUTTERFLY ballots....still

I picked chads in 96, not knowing what they were at the time

[Gabi Hayes]

12. hahahahahaahhahaaaaaaaaa

after Wheaton and the north shore, how much more pug can you get than Naperville?

beside my neighborhood in Arlington Hts, where the Bush/KEYES signs outnumber the Kerry/Obamas by about eight to one

[Socialist Dem]

17. I know.....except for the Keyes part

that's like my North Arl. Hts neighborhood as well, except for the one guy who has Kerry/Edwards and Ron Kirk (Rep.(R), IL) signs in his lawn. I've only seen one Keyes and that looked like it was someone who always voted straight Republican.

21. Hmm... you don't happen to live near Ivy Hill Elementary?

I have a couple friends who live near there... sweet jesus, there are so many Bush/Cheney signs it almost seems like they were planted and people just never bothered to take them down.

[NAO]

16. Next GOP ticket: Miller/Keyes 08!!

Zell Miller for President, running mate Alan Keyes. It would be a 'bipartisan' ticket (Zell is a Dem, you know).

We could challenge godless hedonistic countries to duels!

[regnaD kciN]

18. You know what's the only bad thing about Keyes losing to Obama tomorrow?

He'll probably fade into the woodwork, and we'll lose one of our best sources for comic relief.

[aaronbees]

19. walking circus freak...

I'll miss these funny Alan Keyes moments - what a card!

[nostalgicaboutmyfutr]

20. He doesn't have that many more points to lose does he?

[grace0418]

22. Have any of you ever played Hearts?

I feel like Keyes is losing so badly that he's just trying to shoot the moon at this point.
