Meet Your Superdelegates: Sen. Kevin Keeley

March 25, 2008 at 11:14 pm

We continue our special in-depth educational series, Meet Your Superdelegates. A rare chance to get to know specific superdelegates who will be deciding the Democratic presidential nominee. We’re focusing on party elders, government officials, senior advisors, and other high profile politicians who feature prominently in television and film. And we boldly speculate whom they will back at the Democratic convention. Today’s superdelegate profile comes from the breakthrough comedy movie sensation move “The Birdcage.”

Kevin Keeley is a proud conservative Senator from Ohio who listens to Rush Limbaugh.  He is Vice President of the Coalition for Moral Order.  He has this exchange with his wife: “I’m so glad I got on Jackson’s bandwagon instead of Dole. Dole is just too, too…” Louise Keeley: “Dark.”  Senator Kevin Keeley: “Well, I was gonna say liberal, but he’s dark too.”  He also recognizes that “people in this country aren’t interested in details. They don’t even trust details. The only thing they trust is headlines.”  When Barack Obama talk broadly about reaching out to all Americans, he clearly has Sen. Keeley in mind — and thus his support as a superdelegate.
