I hope George Bush is "terrified" again.

Black talk show host poised to unsettle Republican camp
By Ben Fenton
ALAN KEYES, a fiery speaker and the only black candidate for either party in tonight's Iowa caucuses, is poised to cause an upset in the Republican race - and he need only finish third to do it.
A radio talk show host from Baltimore who served in the Reagan administration, Mr Keyes has spent recent weeks electrifying audiences across Iowa with speeches opposing abortion and championing morality, principle and the US Constitution.
If he secures as little as one-seventh of his party's vote, Washington pundits will talk of a rebirth of the Republican religious Right. He does not believe in pampering voters. "I will not as President do what you think is good for you and your pocketbook," he told 1,000 fundamentalist Christians at a rally in Des Moines on Saturday. "I will do what is right for America."
Mr Keyes, 49, has already been acknowledged by commentators as the most effective performer in nationally-televised candidate debates but his live oratory is even more compelling. Speaking without fire and brimstone, but also without hesitation, he berates Americans for causing a moral crisis by electing politicians to act in their own interests rather than with respect for God and the Constitution.
"Don't go into the caucuses or the ballot box and vote for what is in your best interests, because then you will send people to the White House and to Congress who will do the self-same thing when they cast their votes - vote for what is in their best interests," he said.
That Mr Keyes, Ronald Reagan's liaison man with the UN in the Eighties, should be galvanising audiences in this overwhelmingly white state is a sign of the appeal to the Christian Right of a candidate representing principle rather than platform. In an opinion poll published yesterday, he trailed on eight per cent in joint third place with Senator John McCain, who has not campaigned at all in Iowa.
He seems miles behind George W Bush, on 43 per cent, and Steve Forbes, the conservative multi-millionaire publisher, on 20, but if he can dominate the Christian conservative vote, which opinion polls in Iowa have consistently underestimated, he could cause a shockwave in the Republican campaign.
In 1988, Pat Robertson of the Christian Coalition came from nowhere to win 23 per cent of the vote at the caucuses, terrifying George Bush, the eventual winner of the White House race.
