Sarah Palin Rejects GOP Senate Candidate Mark Kirk’s Plea For An Endorsement
Sarah Palin Rejects GOP Senate Candidate Mark Kirk’s Plea For An Endorsement
Earlier this month, the Washington Post reported that Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL), a candidate for Senate in 2010, wrote a memo to Sarah Palin requesting that she endorse him during her visit to Chicago for the Oprah Winfrey Show. The Post noted that “Palin’s endorsement [of Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman] helped force state Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava (R) from the race” in the NY-23 special election, and that Kirk’s memo is “tangible evidence of the power of Palin’s endorsement in a Republican primary.”
The memo is also tangible evidence of Kirk’s willingness to dramatically switch positions in order to gain political power. Last year, Kirk panned Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) selection of Palin as his running mate, telling the Chicago Tribune, “I would have picked someone different.” Asked about Palin’s qualifications for office, Kirk said, “Quite frankly, I don’t know.”
However, it appears that Palin has rejected Kirk’s request for an endorsement. Recently, Kirk told ThinkProgress that he had been expecting her endorsement once she visited Chicago:
TP: How about Sarah Palin? How close are you to getting her endorsement?
KIRK: We sent a memo detailing the race, and she’ll be coming in to Chicago shortly.
Watch it:
However, Palin visited Chicago last week to tape an interview with Winfrey and made no mention of Kirk. Indeed, the Wall Street Journal noted that Kirk was “unsuccessful” in his bid for an endorsement, despite his detailed memo.
Facing a competitive challenge from businessman Patrick Hughes in the Republican primary, Kirk is attempting to veer to the right. After voting in favor of cap-and-trade clean energy legislation during the summer, Kirk quickly changed his mind and told tea party activists that he would vote against the same bill in the Senate. Speaking to another assembly of conservative supporters in April, Kirk suggested that people should shoot Gov. Pat Quinn (D-IL) for raising taxes.

this is almost definately better news for kirk then if she did endorse him
palin probably cost hoffman the election, I know people who personally voted the other ticket becuase of palin
November 16th, 2009 at 6:27 pmHe should be grateful for her rejection – but since he asked for it to begin with, he’s clearly an idiot.

That’s pretty bad when you’re not even good enough for Failin’ Palin (R-Moron) to endorse.

November 16th, 2009 at 6:53 pmKirk kissed Pope Palin’s ring and knelt before her. But I think he forgot to mail in the big indulgence check to her international offices in Wasilla (some call it “The Alaskan Vatican”).

November 16th, 2009 at 6:57 pmYo freakshow. Like what is your major damage?
November 16th, 2009 at 6:57 pmAt some point it’s got to occur to the Republicans that Palin is not looking out for what is good for the party, but only for what is good for her personally. Although, these are the kind of people who don’t think evolution is happening so maybe they will never notice.
November 16th, 2009 at 6:58 pmWith this Palin person’s vast political experience and numerous accomplishments for the betterment of Alaska, it is obvious that a lack of endorsement will really tarnish any candidate for public office. Or, will it?
November 16th, 2009 at 6:59 pmBut now that I’ve had a chance:
Being an American used to mean something, something special. It symbolized the strong, the brave, the indomitable force that nothing could withstand. They were revered the world over for their freedoms, their minimally corrupt government, and their
penchant for taking on the impossible with inevitable success.
Yup, and the term “Ugly American” just popped up.
Riight.

“Hitler Was A Leftist”, maybe you should go live in a country that’s a bit more friendly to your way of thinking.
North Korea leaps to mind…
November 16th, 2009 at 7:01 pmI’m pulling this forward from the last thread because I’m looking for more definitions. For instance, I think Kirk got “palinized”! Let’s get this one rolling, folks.
How about coming up with some definitions for the word “palinize” to submit to Oxford for consideration next year?
Here’s one: (1) to attempt to smear a political opponent with catchy semi-intelligible phrases unfettered by any connection to reality; (2) to distract from one’s complete lack of substance with cute mannerisms, winking and other behaviors normally associated with beauty pageant contests; (3) to blow an election and find a reason to blame everyone but yourself.
November 16th, 2009 at 7:03 pmI heard on the radio that Mark Kirk was complaining about the horrors of having to house 9/11 perps in a SuperMax in Illinois.
What we ought to do to him (and to all the whiny Republicans) is to donate a box of Depends™ to them … and have a video camera around to document the gift. Boo! [oops, there just went another Depends™....]

November 16th, 2009 at 7:14 pmHitler guy -
Now America means something again – It means that the world awaits Obama’s decision on global issues.. isn’t that amazing? They see us as having actual leadership ability – for Afghanistan, for Global Warming and Energy and for pulling us all collectively out of the pit we’ve been in. I think you should find it amazing.. I surely do.. I thought it would take decades to get them to forget the recent past – but, it seems they are both far more forgiving than I would be if I were in their shoes – and also have more faith in our leader than a portion of our country.
It’s a new America.. an America we can be proud of – and you are not invited.

November 16th, 2009 at 7:14 pmMark Kirk is against housing terrorists in the empty prison in Illinois?!? Just wait until he starts running for Senate and crying about all of the lost jobs here. Opening the prison would mean 200+ jobs for that area and he’s against that? Oh, wait. Those would be AFSCME jobs, wouldn’t they? Never mind.

@ conservababe. You have to remember that Kirk is running in Illinois, if he becomes more “pure”, more to the right I guess, or whomever you want to run in his place there is no way that candidate will win. Is being pure more inportant than winning the seat for a GOP candidate?

I assure you the Liberals don’t want big government for the sake of big government. Your boy GW, the conservative gave us that.
I prefer a government by good governance. In the last 30 years, the Republicans have demonstrated a complete ineptness in governing on a federal level. Ms. Palin, the GOP bright star, quit her job as governor to work at being presidential?
This, my man, is a Republican paradox.

So, even if one were to concede the point of a “socialist experiment” being undertaken? There has been insufficient time to observe the results much less draw any conclusions.
But, we are still left with the much more dicey endeavor of establishing that any such “socialist experiment” is even under way. Sigh…
We just can’t expect consistency from people who will scream just as loudly whether they are claiming “Obama is doing nothing” as “Obama is wrecking everything”.

November 16th, 2009 at 10:58 pmI live in Kirk’s district, and while we have our ‘baggers and birthers (the mayor in Beach Park being a particularly virulent, vocal and vitriolic moron), it is not a wealthy district by any means and has large immigrant and minority populations. Kirk is in this seat because he was seen as one of the more moderate neoCons. But this area went solidly for Obama last year, and Kirk is running scared – and using typical GOP scare tactics, particularly toward the elderly, in a desperate attempt to garner votes.
I never realized how desperate, however, until he went begging for the blessing of Trig’s special-needs mom. It won’t help him here …
November 16th, 2009 at 11:38 pmThis is an illustration of nuance in the Republican spectrum. In spite of the time Mark Kirk spent with his nose up Dubya’s ass, he can’t get the Palin endorsement. It is the difference between the extreme right and the hyperextreme right. Fortunately for us, they don’t get along.
