More stupidity from Alan Keyes, courtesy of the Trib. You know things are bad when your campaign manager has to apologize for your actions, repeatedly:
Robert Gibbs, a spokesman for Obama, declined to address Keyes' comments.

"Everyone has to make their own decisions. The people of Illinois rendered a very clear decision on Tuesday by handing Alan Keyes the greatest electoral defeat in Illinois Senate history," Gibbs said. "Barack Obama's attention is focused on the very important work for all of the people of Illinois."

Earlier, Gibbs had told the Tribune that he talked five times on election night with a top Keyes staffer who was trying to get his candidate to concede. The Keyes aide, Dan Proft, apologized repeatedly for his candidate's behavior, Gibbs said.

Usually a campaign manager is the ultimate lapdog...I remember volunteering for a guy named Bill MIller back in college who ran for Congress against John LaFalce and dealing with his manager...the guy was completely delusional. Creative, but delusional.

I'm also curious as to what the future holds for Dan Proft. He runs the struggling Illinois Leader website, which was once a shining beacon for conservatives in the Prairie State but has since turned into an underfunded mess crippled by the loss of its heart and soul, Fran Eaton. Now the Leader is pretty much ramblings from tinfoil hat wearing media freaks and Operation Rescue types.

You know what cracks me up? The British rags and their reaction to Bush's re-election. These are people who still have a Queen, for Christ's sake!

Now on to the Coin Flips Of The Week. 0-2 last week. Craptacular!
