Mark Kirk is denying that he's trying to angle rightward in the run up to the GOP primary next year with his recent reaching out to Governor Sarah Palin to secure her endorsement for his candidacy.
"I think I am who I am. I am a social moderate, fiscal conservative. But this is a big race and we are building a broad coalition and it will be, for a Republican candidacy, a center-right coalition, but for me, I haven't changed my views."
This is, of course, rather interesting. Kirk is reaching out to conservatives by courting one of their idols in Sarah Palin, yet is also claiming he hasn't changed his views. It makes one wonder just why a conservative would want to vote for him if he isn't even interested in paying lipservice to their causes?
In essence, Kirk is saying vote for me... and I'll ignore all you stand for. After all Kirk's record is more often center left than center right.

Sarah’s not falling for this, is she?
“we are building a broad coalition”
code for “we are rhinos”
Social moderate. No thanks.
Sarah isn’t going to endorse this fool. Megan Stapleton already denied she even wants anything to do with this guy
BS! A fiscal conservative would NEVER have voted for the job-killing cap and trade monstrosity that Kirk voted for.
It’s interesting that he finds it necessary to claim to be ‘center-right.’
Hmmmmm. Voted for Cap and Tax, against drilling in ANWR, sponsored legislation to bring back the “Assault Weapons” ban, animal rights proponent and darling of the H$U$......
“Center right” of what????
Pretty telling when a RINO is trying to get Sarah’s endorsement —considering she is a political lightweight ( or so we have been told )
Center right of what? I think he’s center right of Stalin! LOL.
You are 100% right. Kirk is no center right guy. Period.
