| Description | Illinois Rep. Mark Kirk penned a memo to Republican poobah Fred Malek hoping to secure an endorsement from former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for his Senate candidacy, according to a copy of the memo obtained by the Fix.
After noting that Palin will be in Chicago later this month to appear on "Oprah", Kirk writes that "the Chicago media will focus on one key issue: Does Gov[ernor] Palin oppose Congressman Mark Kirk's bid to take the Obama Senate seat for the Republicans?"
The memo comes on the heels of Palin's decision to endorse Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman in the special election in New York's 23rd district. Palin's endorsement helped force state Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava (R) from the race although Hoffman ultimately came up short against Democrat Bill Owens. |
