NORTHBROOK -- U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk said as firmly as possible Wednesday he won't run for the Senate in 2008.
When pressed, Kirk chuckled and said he isn't likely to change his mind "unless I run into a wall at high speed."
"I'm entirely focused on the 10th Congressional District in Illinois," said the Highland Park Republican, adding that he is "overwhelmingly likely to run again" for the House in 2008.
Kirk fielded that question as he headed for Washington for his first taste of life in the House minority party.
Touting his role as "chair of the Republican moderates," Kirk said he feels the 110th Congress brings with it "a new opportunity for bipartisan reform" on issues like government ethics and spending on earmark projects. |
