...Mark! Illinois Republican Congressman Mark Kirk, the front-runner for the GOP nomination for the U. S. Senate seat once held by President Obama, is concerned about a challenge from the party's right wing. The Chicago Tribune reports that:
By Tuesday, Kirk was trying behind the scenes to get Palin to endorse him this month when she's in Chicago to appear on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Kirk initially praised Palin when she was tapped by unsuccessful GOP presidential contender John McCain to be his running mate. Later, Kirk distanced himself from Palin, telling the Tribune editorial board in October 2008 that he didn't know if she was qualified to be president and that he "would have picked someone different."
Stay tuned. This should be interesting.
