WASHINGTON (CNN) - Alan Keyes is hoping the third time’s the charm. The conservative Republican is taking his third stab at running for the White House. Keyes announced his candidacy Friday on a conservative radio talk show, saying he was unimpressed with the current GOP field. “I just have been watching and following and haven't heard what is needed, and I think I'm like a lot of folks, who have just looked at it and been unmoved,” said Keyes, who also said he has filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to formalize his bid. Keyes is a veteran at running for elective office. The former State Department official during the Reagan Administration ran unsuccessfully for the White House in 1996 and 2000. He also ran for the U.S. Senate in Maryland and in Illinois. That run, in 2004, ended in a landslide loss to Democrat Barack Obama. Keyes teamed up with five other GOP presidential hopefuls last night at a “Value Voters” forum in Florida. The top four Republican candidates, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney and John McCain did not attend the event. – CNN Deputy Political Director Paul Steinhauser Filed under: Alan Keyes
