Alan Keyes on the FL ballot

Keyes He's getting excluded from presidential debates, but FL Republican leaders are putting Alan Keyes on the presidential primary ballot. Maybe it's part of all that African-American outreach? Here's the GOP presidential ballot approved today: Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Gov. Mike Huckabee, Congressman Duncan Hunter, Ambassador Alan Keyes, Sen. John McCain, Congressman Ron Paul, Gov. Mitt Romney, Congressman Tom Tancredo, Sen. Fred Thompson.

“We have an outstanding slate of Republican presidential candidates, and Florida’s Republican voters should be proud that they will choose our nation’s next President from such a diverse field of qualified, principled leaders,” state party chairman Jim Greer said in a statement.  “The historic January 29, 2008 election will be pivotal not only for Florida but for the nation, propelling the winner of the state forward in a way that no other state has the power to do.”
