And if birth control pills were invented sooner, his college mom might have taken them and he never would have been born.
What difference does it make? He could've gotten run over by a truck.
The guy vacating the spot was a Democrat. The area probably has more liberal tendencies.

The story you need to check out was for his FIRST election in the state senate where he got an incumbent female civil rights icon and several other candidates disqualified from the election by disputing the signatures on their petitions to run after it was too late for them to get more.

Well that's generally when the disputing begins. When the deadline has passed and the information is turned in. If the information hasn't been made official by the clerk then how can he realistically dispute it?

You are absolutely correct but the point was more along the lines of "nobody else" was a candidate.
Just like he won his senate seat from a "sex scandalized" republican and a late coming "media mocked" replacement.(Alan Keyes who is still mocked because he is one of the strongest conservatives anywhere and IS in this race for president also).

Just stating facts....he seems pretty smooth to me. And "lucky".

I do wonder how he became such a "media darling" and how he was chosen to give that speech that "launched" him not to mention the "speed" of his "achievements".


Damn, Now I feel sleazy like a "Clinton campaign spokesperson". These "facts" seem exactly like the sneaky tricks they use to undermine their opponents. Oh that IS where I found out about them. Nevermind. Just gossiping.

Oh, I'm sure that Alan Keyes is a strong conservative, but he's a bit of a whack job too relatively speaking. Even Dick Cheney, the bane of liberal existence, hasn't mouthed one negative word about his daughter. Mr. Keyes cannot say the same. That is of course, if we're just gossiping.

ALL parents have a right to "disown" their children just as the children on reaching adulthood may also reciprocate. Alan is deeply religious and to him homosexuality is an abomination and must be "shunned". I admire his fortitude and conservative convictions. He is usually not given the respect of being allowed to FINISH an answer to a question even when a conservative is doing the asking. Also he must be listened to very carefully because he tends to talk way over most people's level which causes many to want to mock him. He deserves much more respect than he is given. I respect him but I still don't know if I would choose him over all other candidates, I wouldn't eliminate him automatically like I do Ron Paul.
