Alan Keyes mulls third-party candidacy

If Keyes runs on the Constitution Party ticket, he's got my vote.

Alan Keyes, who worked in the administration of Ronald Reagan and unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for president three times, announced Tuesday night that he has left the party.

Speaking to a group of about 60 people in the Lincoln Ballroom at Genetti’s Best Western Inn in Hazleton, Keyes, 57, said he could no longer stay in a party that has lost its way.

He said the “Republican Party has come to a dark and confused place.”

Though he stood in front of a red, white and blue banner that read, “We need Alan Keyes for president,” Keyes did not say he was running this fall. He hinted at that possibility and mentioned the Constitution Party as a potential fit for him, but stopped short of making that announcement official.
