I don&#39;t know if he can pull it off as an independent.<br /><br />People will look at the Hoffman race (even though he did an outstanding job)and it will be influenced by it.<br /><br />The media will see to that.<br /><br />I wish he would have been looked at earlier and sent a &quot;sign&quot; that support would be coming.<br /><br />There is another conservative in the race and from I can gather, Wallace took a bullet for the conservatives.<br /><br />If the conservative wins the primary, Wallace would have been the better conservative.<br /><br />Wallace could clsoe the deal with his story.<br /><br />Cal Thomas wrote a good article on the fact that the GOP has to be more inclusive.<br /><br />Here you had an Afro-American conservative who has political moxie and a story to tell to ALL of the communities in the district and the GOP does what?<br /><br />Put the white moderate guy up there. And the race is between a white moderate and a white conservative.<br /><br />Just plain dumb. I would like to know how much influence Fred Malek<br />has in all of this.<br /><br />Josh wrote an article on Malek&#39;s list that had Kirk on it.<br /><br />As for Wallace? A write-in campaign in the GOP primary may do it.<br /><br />With alot of support.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18388805148012571933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661889685537987251.post-48285510099794637312009-11-05T12:03:46.307-09:002009-11-05T12:03:46.307-09:00Mark Kirk is a Gold Plated Jerque ( nice nautical trope for the dope) and the only GOP Legislator to vote for Cap&#39;nTrade.<br /><br />Sarah Palin would do very well to ignore this mope, with extreme prejudice.<br /><br />Full disclosure - I am a south side Chicago Democrat who worked the better part of two years for McCain/Palin - and only 1/2 of that Team wanted to win after 9/19/08 - and that one has great legs and lives in Alaska.<br /><br />http://hickeysite.blogspot.com/2009/11/mark-kirk-begs-sarah-palin-i-like-fancy.htmlpathickeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01051997614374510451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661889685537987251.post-17152885781820552892009-11-05T05:54:55.292-09:002009-11-05T05:54:55.292-09:00Tom,<br /> I think that Eric Wallace is a good candidate for Senate as well. The deadline to file for candidacy was this past Monday, so Wallace cannot run as a Republican. However, he has left himself the option of running as an independent. I&#39;m very curious to see how this all pans out. <br /><br />One of the other Republican candidates, Patrick Hughes (another whom I&#39;m looking at closely) had this to say about Kirk:<br /><br />&quot;“I believe Mark Kirk, who has consistently supported President Obama’s legislative agenda, including cap and trade legislation, is quickly realizing that Republican Primary voters do not share his extreme views. In a desperate attempt to prove otherwise, he is seeking the endorsement of Sarah Palin, a true Reagan conservative, to help disguise his liberal voting record.”<br /><br />http://thecapitolfaxblog.com/2009/11/04/mark-kirk-asks-for-sarah-palins-endorsement/Whitney The Pipsqueakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13490756857309833446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661889685537987251.post-59382018811844504762009-11-05T00:24:44.302-09:002009-11-05T00:24:44.302-09:00Nope,<br /><br />But Wallace does and he just got out of the primary. <br /><br />Wallace needs to get back in the primary race and Palin needs to take a look at the guy...<br /><br />http://thomasalamb.blogspot.com/2008/12/is-there-perfect-storm-brewing-in.html<br /><br />&quot;...It will take an Afro-American or possibly Hispanic Republican to win it. And a visit made by the corruption buster, Sarah Palin.&quot;<br /><br />I think Kirk was on a list that included Rubio. Josh wrote about it.<br /><br />Kirk needs to be scratched from the list.Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18388805148012571933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661889685537987251.post-82288489588019731382009-11-04T21:41:23.587-09:002009-11-04T21:41:23.587-09:00Just like a schoolyard bully...still wants you to come to his b-day party so he can get more presents.<br /><br />This will bear watching, so thanks for the heads up, Whitney :)Meadowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00704251709378090141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661889685537987251.post-84106216715637717472009-11-04T20:52:20.056-09:002009-11-04T20:52:20.056-09:00No.. he doesn&#39;t sound at all like someone Governor Palin would support.

Seems he owes her a big apology before he should have the gall to ask her for anything.<br /><br />- JPJosh Painterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14727919055894305655noreply@blogger.com
