He'll do approximately as well as the other guy named Kirk who ran for an open Senate seat in the President's home state in his first midterm election.

The money expenditure goes both ways though; yes it costs the Dems money to defend what would otherwise be a safe seat, but the GOP could waste money (in an election in which the Dems will proabably be better funded to begin with) on an unwinnable seat just as well.

Though yes, it does increase the odds of catching lightning in a bottle, but Kirk will have to figure out how to win big both downstate and in the suburbs, something that's been pretty tough for recent GOP candidates in Illinois.
