It wasn't a newscaster who mentioned, but rather a regular Joe who was being interviewed about the election. You know, one of those people who, according to you, doesn't know who Keyes is.
Reread my post. I said that the vast majority don't know who Alan Keys is.
Obama whipped Keys in their 2004 senate race like a grown man spanks a small naughty child.
Obama just got 70 million votes last November. And Keys got a few mentions in the media? Did he get as many as Barbra Streisand? Well, good on him.
Like I said - Keys is politically marginal and irrelevant to the nth degree. Good thing the earth isn't flat or Keys would have fallen off the right edge years ago.
