This is what happens when Keyes shuts up for
a week:
Democrat Barack Obama is running away from republican Alan Keyes in the race for the U.S. Senate in Illinois. Obama has a 45–point lead in the poll.
Obama with a 69–to–24 lead dominates in almost every category. Keyes holds only a one–point lead in the traditionally Republican–rich Chicago suburbs. The libertarian and independent candidates are not factors, together getting only one percent of the vote.
But I shouldn't worry:
Ali says Obama is in position to perhaps record the most commanding victory in a U.S. Senate race where there is no incumbent running.
