It was hot and crowded at Mark Kirk’s election-night watch party.
Meanwhile, a TV tucked behind the food and drink buffet, and tuned to Fox news, brought word that Trump was winning in Florida and Rubio was giving up.
Coleman, who’s aiding Kirk with his urban outreach, said he favors Rubio in the presidential race. Rubio just dropped out? “Then I’ve gotta go with Cruz,” he said. It was close to 8 PM when Kirk was helped to the podium. “The November election will be one of bold contrasts,” he said, reading from a list of issues on which he says he and Duckworth differ: refugees, Guantanamo (he’d keep it open), “fiscal sanity,” and “holding the VA accountable.”
No matter who wins it, Illinois will have a senator thoroughly schooled in disability.
