Yep, Alan Keyes officially entered the race for the Senate this afternoon by announcing his candidacy at a rally in Arlington Heights. The Chicago Tribune was less than amused by Keyes' nomination, and published a very critical editorial on Friday, welcoming Keyes to Illinois without mincing words: "If Keyes accepts, he will run and will lose. And then he will hop on the next flight back to Maryland, and the state's GOP will be left with nothing but the smell of jet fumes."
