The Constitution Party Selects a Presidential Candidate

The Constitution Party held its 2008 national convention (April 23-26) in Kansas City, Missouri, and selected Chuck Baldwin as its presidential candidate. Baldwin beat neocon warmonger Alan Keyes for the party's nomination by a 3-to-1 margin. (For more on this, read James Antle's essay on Keyes's slide into political irrelevancy here.)

Here is Chuck Baldwin's acceptance speech:

Baldwin was the CP's vice presidential selection in 2004 when he teamed up with Michael Peroutka for the 2004 election.

UPDATE: I find this hard to believe, but there is talk going around that Mr. Keyes is on a "short list" of possible VP choices for John McCain.
