Funnily enough, this race would be easily winnable for Kirk in a midterm year and he would be considered the favorite (Tilt R/Leans R). Illinois is not New York. It's the fact that 2016 will be a Presidential year that is hurting Kirk.

Please name for me the last election in which a Senate election in Illinois was considered "easily winnable" for the Republicans.

Or a Presidential.

Or a Gubernatorial, which you would have to go back to Jim Edgar for.

Illinois is apparently the new fools gold as the GOP gets cocky about Rauner's victory.

I agree. It took an incumbent governor with mid-30's approval and a wave year for Rauner to win. An open seat and a wave year for Kirk to win. If it isn't a wave year for Republicans in 2016, they're already at a big disadvantage in the state.

He was the one Republican to vote against defunding PP. He's so scared of re-election, he really is.

Kirk has always been pro-choice AFAIK. This isn't anything new.

The issue has nothing to do with being pro-choice however.

You see, when McCaskill does it, she's smart. When the CoC does it, its white collar thugs trying to protect their cronies.

Human Rights Campaign Endorses Kirk

I am literally speechless. I guess Bernie was right about the HRC.

They need a token Republican, like how the Tea Party endorsed Walt Minnick (D-ID) in 2010.

Two of them apparently - article notes they endorsed Dold as well.

Duckworth and Schneider may have just lost the election. Nice!

If Trump or Cruz is on the ballot, they'll both get Blanched, regardless of HRC endorsement.

I just noticed Human Rights Campaign and Hillary Rodham Clinton have the same initials.
