Being that rare mix of African-American and REPUBLICAN, Alan Keyes' supporters are a curious bunch as well. One fund-raiser for a state assembly candidate in the San Fernando Valley had a very curious turn-out: Bolo-tied "cowboy" millionaires and zit-faced Young Republicans rubbed elbows with Negro "church ladies" and frustrated government bureaucrats to form a small yet potentially potent new COALITION...

These "Keyesters" agree with Keyes 100% on EVERYTHING, with abortion being the biggest rallying point. They ALL view it as the moral equivalent of slavery, and having a BLACK MAN as well-spoken as Keyes drive home this point is all that was needed to bring this odd group together.
