I don’t know that he’s endorsed Kirk. But your strikes one and two bring the points home. Strike one, of course, gave us a Democrat in the Senate regardless of who won, as is now official. It certainly did not help Santorum’s own re-election bid. Strike two, allowed McCain’s opposition to be neutralized.
After Sam Brownback endorsed Sebelius for HHS, and then hit me up for $$$ for the governor’s race, I canonly wonder what they put in the drinking water in D.C. Jack D. Ripper might be right.
I’m just so fed up with these guys. So many start off well enough, but it seems like once they get up to about 6 years in office, that’s when the Potomac Fever kicks in. This lust for power, staying in office forever, getting chummy-chummy with opponents of what is right (witness Hatch and Ted Kennedy). Brownback has been in since 1995, that’s closing in on 15 years, and it seems apparent he has jumped the proverbial shark. You could probably count on one hand how many are still able to remember why they were sent to DC. As for Brownback, I was informed by another FReeper that he’s merely using the KS Governorship as a stepping-stone BACK to DC, in this case, the White House (either running in ‘12 or ‘16). It’s just all about the power and the ego-trip. If Brownback had a serious primary opponent for Governor, I’d support them. Enough is enough.
