Senate Guru covers Mark Kirk’s summer and despite an effective kick-off, it’s not been good to him:
And there you have the story of Mark Kirk and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Summer: personally undermining the U.S. economy; getting a divorce of which a wingnut primary opponent will doggedly investigate the sordid details; massively flubbing his Senate campaign roll-out in headline-making, embarrassing fashion; and possibly violating military regulations. And that’s just June and July. I wonder what Republican Mark Kirk has in store for us in August.
Republican Mark Kirk has two advantages as a Senate candidate: his existing House campaign bankroll and his undeserved reputation as a moderate. Both “advantages” have begun to fall by the wayside this summer, as well. Though Kirk’s bankroll, as of the end of June, just barely topped $1 million, Democratic state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias‘ campaign account has broken $1.65 million. So Kirk’s money advantage is gone. Also, the DSCC has begun working to evaporate Kirk’s faux-moderate image with a pair of informative and entertaining web videos:
Now, in fairness, Andy Martin’s bizarre rantings about the marriage stuff is complete BS. SG should have left that out.
And now he claims there are only 8 million truly uninsured people in the US. Dandy. Oh, and let’s not forget his fine townhall that essentially led him to flip flopping on the climate change bill.
