Either two-time Republican presidential candidate Alan Keyes or former deputy drug czar Andrea Barthwell will get the nod on Wednesday from the state Republican party's central committee to face off against Obama in November, party officials announced.

And since Bathwell was the one who was harassing the employees, the smart (?!?) money is on Keyes... one hitch:
