Is Mark Kirk Blowing the Illinois Senate Race? by Eric Kleefeld
With the situation getting worse, Kirk found himself this week in a situation that no politician wants to be seen in -- apparently avoiding reporters, after he quickly left an appearance in Chicago by going out of the back door of the hotel, with reporters chasing after him.

As the NBC station in Chicago reported: "A pack of about 20 reporters at the event, expecting Kirk to stay for questions (as his opponent, Alexi Giannoulias did), ran after him through the crowded lunch tables, shouting his name. Kirk ran through the kitchen and into the back loading area, where he jumped into an SUV which was idling with its engine on. Despite the calls of reporters, the SUV then sped away."
