I'm also confused as to what you mean regarding Keyes? Obama defeated him handliy in 2004.

I don't mean to suggest that the Republican party's reasoning is at all reasonable. I just think that this is the reasoning for selecting her as a candidate. Just as they seemed to think that Alan Keyes, just by virtue of the fact that he is black, would somehow draw some black voters into the Republican fold. It smacks of presumption that the voters' investment in particular candidates is based solely on gender or race. It is insulting.
