Ahh, beaten to the punch by Sawx.
But yeah pretty much that. At the moment there are no major candidates that could jump in and wreak havoc, like Russ Feingold very well may do with Johnson in WI. Since it's such a Democratic state, I'll put this as a Lean D state, but Kirk is a moderate and hasn't done much to anger the electorate.
Yeah, he really has done things for his state and been moderate, after all he was on of the few R's to vote for background checks.
He's also pro-gay marriage and pro-immigration reform. It's a shame he's in Illinois because he's one of the few Republicans I'm sad to see become vulnerable.
Good for him, unfortunately when it comes 2016 it'll be Chicago vs. Rest of State just like 2010.
And every Presidential election in the past 20 years
