IL-Sen: Kirk Seeks Palin Endorsement
WaPO the Fix ^ | Nov 4, 2009 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 11/04/2009 12:34:07 PM PST by yongin

Illinois Rep. Mark Kirk penned a memo to Republican poobah Fred Malek hoping to secure an endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for his Senate candidacy, according to a copy of the memo obtained by the Fix.

After noting that Palin will be in Chicago later this month to appear on "Oprah", Kirk writes that "the Chicago media will focus on one key issue: Does Gov[ernor] Palin oppose Congressman Mark Kirk's bid to take the Obama Senate seat for the Republicans?"

Kirk goes on to write that he is hoping for something "quick and decisive" from Palin about the race, perhaps to the effect of: "Voters in Illinois have a key opportunity to take Barack Obama's Senate seat. Congressman Kirk is the lead candidate to do that."

Malek confirmed the authenticity of the memo in an e-mail exchange with the Fix.

A pro-gay marriage, pro-partial birth abortion, pro cap n trade RINO demands Palin’s endorsement to choke out his ocnservative competition in the primary.

Since I live in Rep. Kirk’s district, I know that Palin won’t endorse him. They disagree about almost every issue.

This guy better have impeccable conservative credentials if he’s ‘asking’ for endorsements.

Sarah should stay away from Kirk. He supports everything she is against. I bet she took his letter and threw it in the trash..but first she laughed, then threw it away

Sounds like a setup....trying to get Palin to endorse a RINO to dilute her strong conservative message.

He won’t get it.

Palin should tell Kirk, “you mean quick and decisive like
Obama’s decision on the troups? I’ll get back to ya”
