IL-GOP: Alan Keyes can speak in English

From The Southern Illinoisan:

Jim Patrick, a Williamson County precinct committeeman, helped organize the effort to bring Keyes to Southern Illinois.

"We are very excited and happy about bringing Alan Keyes to Southern Illinois. He is a man of character," Patrick said. "He's not afraid to speak his mind and he does it very fluently. I don't think there is a more eloquent speaker than him. I don't know of anybody on the state or national level that can speak more eloquently than Alan Keyes." [emphasis added]

It really says something about the Republicans' choice for Senate that, at its core, their most glowing praise is: "Our candidate is quite a good talker."

That is sure to help elect GOP candidates further down the ballot.
