If I lived in IL, I wouldn't vote for Kirk either.
I live in Illinois, and I won’t vote for Kirk. I work for Chad Koppie, the Constitution Party’s U.S. Senate candidate. Chad says that the liberal vote will split among Kirk, Duckworth, and Summers (of the Green Party), helping Chad win with 20%. Please ask people to help Chad’s campaign by volunteering and/or donating. His site is www.chadkoppie.com.
