Keyes Loses Constitution Party Nod

Alan Keyes was not selected as the far-right Constitution Party's nominee for president over the weekend. I think there's a couple of interesting points here. First, the fact that this is getting covered at all may be a web difference. At least according to a Google News search, no one is covering this except the blogs.

A second interesting point is this thread on Keyes's site. A supporter posts a message about trying to get Keyes on the ballot as an independent, hears back from the moderator asking if he's volunteering, and then gets input from other posters as well. I'm not saying it's going to work (As I've said before, I'm pretty doubtful about third parties in general), but I think its interesting.
