A touching story about how Kenya is on the edge of their collective seat for their Favorite Son!

1. Yes I did

3. Its about core integrity, isn't it ?
Not something I ever see too much of in either party... only the Republicans seem to have less of it these days.

That was way cool of Obama. It goes towards stature - even the Chicago Tribune endorsed him.. but look at the alternaitve !

5. Only a supporter of the rights of degenerate hedonists
would turn away from Keyes!

A right proper senator he'll make. The guy is such a loose canon that he'd create havoc for his own party. I'd love to see him replace Henry Hyde. :)
