Alan Aims for Success

Alan Keyes, on the ballot in 24 states, maintains his indomitable enthusiasm in the race for the Republican nomination. Today, Keyes will be holding a rally in Beaumont, Texas to rouse support for his cause. He believes that Texas could be a wellspring of support for his conservative principles, so he plans to keep touring the state before the primary on March 4th. In an interview with the Beaumont Enterprise, Keyes detailed some of his views on the other candidates, remarking, "The Republican party is being hijacked" before going on to note, "Huckabee is pro-life, but liberal on other issues" and "McCain is moving in the direction of becoming a Democrat wearing a Republican label." Indeed, with Romney out of the race and Huckabee maybe to follow, Keyes may have the chance of garnering their voters. Besides his work in Beaumont, Keyes was also campaigning in the Texas cities of Lubbock and Kerrville this week. In his interview with the Beaumont Enterprise, he concluded by announcing that as of right now he has "no plans beyond winning the Texas primary and moving on to the convention, where I believe that the conservatives will come together in order to nomiinate the kind of alternative that America needs."
