Brown Visits Kirk
Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown --the Republican who succeeded Ted Kennedy-- is in town fundraising for Mark Kirk today.
In conservative states a visit by Brown might come off as a risk but in Illinois a visit from one of the more moderate Republican senators can only help Kirk, even if he has kept a slight lead in the polls.
The visit will help Kirk's street cred among moderates and non-Tea Party conservatives in Illinois --a constituency that's much more important to a Kirk victory than hard right conservatives would be in, say, Kentucky.
On a related note, Sarah Palin recently said that Alaskans wouldn't stand for Brown's voting record --which she referred to as "antics"-- if he were a senator from her home state.
