2. Considering that Kirk is the one

they worked so hard to get into Obama's former seat, it would serve them right to lose it. Since they also worked to prove that Edwards is a crook, when he is nothing more than a philanderer, this would put them on notice that it is NOT okay when a republican does it!

Kirk is also too unhealthy to remain in office. He had a stroke, and probably will never come back physically. They keep saying he is "mentally sharp," but he is paralyzed on one side, and not in good physical condition.

My brother had a stroke when he was fifty-one. I know how hard it is. He did come back well from it, but he has one numb spot on a leg, and one on his upper arm. He walks with a cane, for balance. Occasionally, he has memory problems. I don't notice, but he does. He went back to work and functioned well, but it was hard, hard, hard. I can't imagine going back to the Senate, where there is so much pressure, when Kirk has recovered even less than my brother, who was lucky and worked hard to achieve a recovery. I don't wish him ill health, but he should stay home.

Nice work, hypocrites. May you get what you deserve.
