A bit much

Keyes campaign gloats over debate “win” in campaign e-mail:

(SPRINGFIELD, OCTOBER 13) – Keyes 2004 campaign manager Bill Pascoe, reacting to Alan Keyes’ clear win in last night’s debate against Barack Obama, released the following statement:

“The first debate is history, and the result is clear: Alan Keyes won this debate with a clear knock-out. After watching the way he put Barack Obama on the defensive from the opening bell, it’s easy to see why Obama went from doing his impersonation of Muhammed ‘I’m the Greatest!’ Ali to doing an even better impersonation of Roberto ‘Watch me throw up my hands as I quit and yell “No Mas!”‘ Duran. [Snip]

Obama’s Malthusian views on economics – which would enhance, rather than reduce, the economic stratification of our society – were put in their place as the poppycock they are. [Snip]

Alan clearly had a better grasp of the issues, and represented the views of the great majority of Illinois’ mainstream voters.”

Now he’s going after mainstream voters? Now? Or does he believe that he’s the mainstream guy and people are finally waking up to this undeniable fact? His relatively sedate delivery last night suggests the former, but I’m pretty sure it’s the latter.

1. Obama is a liberal extremist. Keyes is communicating moderate, admirable stances. Keyes for US Senate!
