Defeated Keyes pulls out of Cal City

CHICAGO, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Recently defeated Senate candidate Alan Keyes has vowed to work on behalf of the Illinois Republican Party, but appears to be pulling up his roots.

WBBM-AM, Chicago, reported Monday Keyes has moved out of his second-floor apartment in the working class neighborhood of suburban Calumet City, Ill., after moving from Maryland.

Former neighbor Yolanda Genus said Keyes slipped out of town the Friday after Election Day, when he suffered the worst defeat by a major party candidate for the U.S. Senate.

Genus said she was glad to see Keyes go because "we knew he wasn't going to stay and that he was "more talk than anything."

Keyes spokeswoman Connie Hair said Keyes will maintain a presence in Illinois with a condo in downtown Chicago, in addition to a home in Maryland where he lives with his family.

Hair could not estimate how much time he would spend in the state because "he does a lot of speaking around the country" and is always traveling, WBBM said.
