I assume he's trying to lose now.

Nice Sarcasm.

Kirk has a tough fight ahead, but he's hardly DOA.
He's hardly making things any easier for himself.

Kirk is the Blanche Lincoln of the cycle. I don't think negative ads are going to even come close to saving him.

Moderate is not a static term. Kirk has cast some votes that really are not in line with his state, which is not really being moderate. Duckworth is a better fit for the state and that is what really counts.

Duckworth allegedly violated the state's ethics act. Is breaking the law part of being a good fit for Illinois?

I get you don't like Kirk. That's fine. But the Democrat who is ethical is Andrea Zopp, not Duckworth.

Some evidence other than a Kirk ad would be nice. My point was in terms of the leanings of the state, a Democrat is a better fit than a so-called moderate Republican. As we saw the Iran deal, Kirk made a statement that would be more in line with a red state electorate, not a blue state one.
