"Supporters of Alan Keyes plan to attend the Iowa Straw Poll Aug. 11, to get Keyes' name before the public as a possible Republican presidential candidate," according to Keyes’ grassroots supporters. Most recently known for his recent Illinois Senate race against now-Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama (gathering just 27% of the vote in the process), Keyes has stayed out of the public spotlight recently.
Commenting on this effort, Keyes said, "I've told my supporters -- who, by the way, are undertaking this effort on their own -- that if they can demonstrate sufficient grassroots support for me to run, I will do so."
