(Undated) — A high profile GOP fundraiser is taking back comments calling for U.S. Senator Mark Kirk to not run for re-election. Businessman Ron Gidwitz told Crain’s Chicago Business that Kirk should step aside following a series of verbal missteps recently that made national headlines. Gidwitz later retracted those statements, telling the “Chicago Tribune” that he feels Kirk is the strongest candidate to win the seat.
