Tea Party Uses (Republican) Scott Brown's Victory To Target (Republican) Mark Kirk

Tea Party Nation members spent less than an hour celebrating Republican Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts before they got to work to end another Republican's Senate candidacy.

Organizers of the Tea Party Nation, which has banned "liberal trolls" from its Web site in advance of next month's convention in Nashville, last night told members the "next battle" is in Illinois to make sure Rep. Mark Kirk does not win the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate.

The primary is Feb. 2 and the Tea Party Nation warns that if Kirk (R-IL) wins, "this fall Illinois will have a choice between two liberals for the Illinois Senate seat." They call Kirk a "RINO," which stands for Republican In Name Only, with a "consistently liberal" record compared to Pat Hughes, who they called a "solid Conservative."

But ut Kirk (also a top target for Democrats) asked his supporters to help Brown. Last night he tweeted about the Brown victory to boost his own candidacy:

Congrats to Scott Brown on a Massachusetts Miracle! Let's make Illinois the next blue state to flip red! Sign up: http://j.mp/58b5N7 #tcot 13 hrs ago

Talk about symbolism - if the Republicans could win the Kennedy seat in Massachusetts and then the seat once held by President Obama, the GOP would be in high heaven.
