Alan Keyes Is Still Trying To Pay His Debts

I don’t know if Alan Keyes is making sense, but I do know that Alan Keyes is still trying to pay off the debts that he incurred during his presidential campaigns in 1996, 2000 and 2008. How do I know? The FEC records tell me so.

Alan Keyes was a big flop in every presidential campaign he ran, but those big flops didn’t come cheaply. The Alan Keyes presidential campaign committees still had $495,730 in debt at the end of March this year, even though Keyes collected 119 donations larger than $200 in the last 15 months.

One of the key platforms of the Alan Keyes presidential campaigns: Fiscal responsibility.

Why would people donate money to a three-time failed presidential candidate who holds no public office or other substantial position of responsibility?
