He had been governor of the largest state >in the Union, a position perhaps next in importance after the presidency. >What electoral experience did he have that prepared him to undertake that >campaign? None. Nada. Zip. He was [does this sound familiar?] an >orator, who traveled about trying to re-inspire the American people in >their basic political institutions, in their ideals of liberty, and their >duty to defend and explain them. > >Reagan was....a PUBLIC SPEAKER (and a radio guy to boot). > >Of course, the press and the media didn't think he was electable either, >and he didn't even get the nomination in his first two runs, in 1968 and >1976. But at the end of the day, Reagan, the orator, WAS electable. He >was elected in two landslides. And certain tyrants, who are now on the >dustbin of history, can tell you just how electable Reagan was. > >* * * * * * * * > >Report from Iowa > >Ambassador Alan Keyes took a swing through central Iowa last weekend, >holding three Renewing America rallies in two days. The first rally was >in Marshalltown, Iowa, Friday evening, March 5, 1999, where a crowd of 300 >people, many of whom had never heard Alan Keyes speak prior to this visit, >left the meeting unable to forget the man with the passionate, moral >message. Next stop was in Carroll, Iowa, on Saturday afternoon, where 200 >people from this small town gathered to talk of the nation’s concerns. A >reporter from their Daily Times-Herald was on site to report and >photograph the excitement that Keyes can create, and the local radio >station recorded the proceedings. On to Fort Dodge, where another 300 >people heard the wisdom of Alan Keyes’ moving words. In addition, Keyes >spoke to 1,200 pro-life supporters to benefit a Crisis Pregnancy Center in >Sioux City, Iowa, Thursday evening, March 4th—a huge turnout for a town of >80,000! The trip was great, and the Ambassador was thrilled by the warmth >of his reception. > >Speaking of warmth, we must mention what the Keyes 2000 Iowa staff has >come to know as the Keyes Effect. Campaigning in the Midwest in winter >can be a “stormy” affair, but, more often than not, the snows abate and >the winds warm when Alan Keyes comes to town. The storms that hit during >the week, especially in eastern Iowa, veered away from central Iowa for >the duration of his visit.
