I think that the reason he does not get support is that he is not appealing to the mainstream media, who like it or not pick the candidates as much if not moreso than the voters do. You have to play the media's game in campaigns -- Alan Keyes will not do that. For example, he would not congratulate Barak Obama on his victory in the race for the senate seat in Illinois because it would be "congratulations toward the triumph of that which I believe ultimately stands for ... a culture evil enough to destroy the very soul and heart of my country? I cannot do this. And I will not make a false gesture." (That from Wikipedia). Something like that just fans the fires in the todays's media, who seem obsessed with the notion that everyone must accomodate everyone else and "apologize" for any remotely provocative statement.
