My Take
Mark Kirk fascinates me less for any single vote and more for the shape of his career: a military officer, an attorney, and then a politician who climbed from the House to the Senate. The self-description of socially liberal and fiscally conservative is the part I keep returning to. In an age of rigid tribal labels, choosing a stance that resists easy categorization takes a certain stubborn honesty. Whether or not one agrees with him, I respect people who insist on measuring issues with their own ruler rather than borrowing someone else's. That Cornell-trained, multi-track path suggests a restless, capable mind.
