Alan Keyes is a nutjob

Republican Alan Keyes blamed the media and ''Republicans in name only'' Thursday for his lopsided loss to Democrat Barack Obama in Illinois' U.S. Senate race.

Keyes also said he didn't congratulate Obama after the race was called, a tradition among politicians, because doing so would have been a ''false gesture'' because he believes Obama's views on issues like abortion are wicked.

Keyes noted that 1.3 million people voted for him.

He said he was disappointed in what he called the number of ''Republicans in name only'' in Illinois. An Associated Press exit poll showed that four in 10 Republicans voted for Obama, a liberal state senator from Chicago.

''I had counted on the fact that Republicans would come back home on Election Day rather than vote a socialist into office who stands against everything they profess to believe as Republicans,'' Keyes said.
