Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk hasn't endorsed a GOP candidate for president, but it's looking more and more like he's on Mitt Romney's team.

Kirk said Monday the field is getting down to "Romney and the anti-Romney," listing all of the GOP darlings -- Palin, Bachman, Trump et al -- that have fallen by the wayside.

"The underlying story is the rise and rise of Mitt Romney," Kirk said.

In regards to the Herman Cain sexual harassment controversy, Kirk said Cain "needs to respond and respond completely."

"I do think his story is largely ending," Kirk said. "The critical thing is not what everybody thinks, but what caucus-goers in Iowa think and primary goers in New Hampshire think. My read right now it's looking very good for Romney."

Why not? Kirk is a RINO.

if kirk is against cain.... i will support him twice as much.

Looks like Kirk wants to go Sandusky all over Mitt.

Kirk said Cain "needs to respond and respond completely."

What a douchebag. Cain HAS responded completely. Anytime you hear someone saying this it's their way of saying they want this to keep hanging over Cain's head and keep it alive.

"The underlying story is the rise and rise of Mitt Romney," Kirk said.

Douchebag comment #2. Rise and rise? Romey hasn't had a lift in a poll since his high school vaulting team.

That’s their gay life partner pose. Liberals and RINOs always like to do that to appeal to the gay vote. Kerry and Edwards couldn’t stop once they got started.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Oh, the suspense is just killing me! Who will it be, Mark? Who will it be???

[mockingbyrd]

I think that RINO is a term too easily thrown about here. I think DIABLO is a term that needs to be used more often.

Mark Steyn is da bomb.

[Lazlo in PA]

Kirk endorsing a RINO? And this is news? I who did we expect this dope to back, a Conservative? Yeah right.

[Antoninus]

I’d be shocked if Kirk didn’t support Romney. This is a “Sun rises in east” type story.

[fieldmarshaldj]

When is that crooked Combiner douche gonna end the farce and officially become a Democrat ?

[BillyBoy]

He probably held off on endorsing RINO Romney because he was hoping someone even more liberal would get in the race. Romney pretends to be a conservative and that must annoy Mark Kirk. He misses the openly liberal 2002 Romney. But now Kirk realizes he has to side with Romney to avoid the possiblity of an actual conservative getting nominationed.

What scares me is the freepers who seem to buying the propaganda that scumbag Mark Kirk is turning out to be pretty good. I know Dengar's had a few slips of the Kirk kool-aid. If Kirk turned out to be "better" than most RINOs after he was instrumental in putting the gay agenda in the military and getting Obama's lame duck marxist agenda passed in December 2010 (a 180o flip flop from his campaign pledge and his House record, both of which I PREDICTED would happen!), I'd hate to see their idea of "worse" RINO. Kirk is so bad he makes Arlen Specter look tolerable.

RMSPers are joined at the hip and agenda..

“The underlying story is the rise and rise of Mitt Romney,” Kirk said.

Yeah well theres that story about the Roman Empire and its rise...

But then it fell...

[ModelBreaker]

Duh. Does this surprise anyone. I’m only surprised Kirk wasn’t on his exploratory committee eight years ago.

[Fred]

How stupid is this guy. It is a four way race in IA right now. It is ‘looking pretty good’ for Ron Paul, but I do not see this guy endorsing him.

[montyspython]

You mean the same Kirk that lied about his military service, that Kirk?

[packrat35]

Kirk is so bad he makes Arlen Specter look tolerable.

Ouch! But I mostly agree but I still dislike Specter more (for now).
