@dgendvil The Republican Party of Illinois asked him to move there and run after Jack Ryan dropped out and Mike Ditka declined to enter the race. He is a political gadfly so it really doesn't matter where he runs because he always loses.

I think swami1, it depends upon the state. NY is generally more open to carpetbaggers than NJ is. Of course, it didn't hurt Hillary Clinton that she was a Democrat.

I wonder why Alan Keyes ran for senate again in Illinois instead of Maryland? I know that was 16 years after his first senatorial race, & he still lost to future Presidential candidate & the President-elect Barack Obama.

wher's all the fancy touchscreens at??
It's funny that Joe Lieberman was the Democrat but a conservative, and Lowell Weicker was the Republican but a liberal. Now they're both independents and Lieberman endorsed McCain while Weicker endorsed Obama.
