He needs to make some concessions for the good of the party.
As I said in a previous thread:
Kirk is against "card check" (which would allow unions to organize without a vote).
He is against immigration amnesty and supports completing the border fence and sending more troops to the border.
He favors extending the Bush tax cuts for everyone.
He is against closing Gitmo
As a congressman, he voted against Obamacare and he has indicated that he wants to repeal it.
Giannoulias takes the opposite position on ALL of those things and more. Giannoulias would be our worst nightmare. Kirk must win!
