With Sen. Roland Burris not running for re-election in 2010, Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL)is eying that senate seat. There are a number of obstacles in his way. First, he stated he wouldn't run. Second, his likely opponent would be Illinois Republican Party Chairman Andy McKenna, whose fairly popular. Lastly, he lacks support in his party. This came about in a recent meeting of the Illinois Republican congressional delegation on Thursday in which his colleagues refused to back Kirk in a primary. This is due, in large part, to his vote in favor of President Barack Obama's climate change bill.
As a conservative, I will work to identify and defeat those in the Republican party who undermine and damage the conservative movement. Mark Kirk and the other 7 Republicans who voted for the climate change bill have done just that. (HT Crain's & Washington Compost):
