If I ain't startin', I ain't departin'

Alan Keyes, in his brave quest to take on Barack Obama again ("C'mon. Two out three. Okay. Three out of five? .. How about four out of seven") moves his campaign to Texas where he rents out Texas Stadium and fills it with screaming fans in an all-day love-fest.

Or close to that:

On Tuesday, presidential candidate Alan Keyes began a six-week grassroots tour of Texas, originally his home state. Keyes is a 1968 graduate of Cole High School in San Antonio.

Although Keyes will make excursions outside Texas as needed, and will continue his nationwide radio blitz to counter the media's virtual blackout of his campaign, he plans to camp out in Texas until its primary on March 4. As most pundits agree, if Super Tuesday fails to produce a "presumptive" Republican nominee, Texas becomes all the more important as the last big prize of the primaries.
