While I believe Kirk could easily defeat Burris if the economy is still bad, I doubt Burris could be nominated. as the DSCC would probably clear the field for a strong challenger if it looked like Burris was in jeopardy of losing his seat. That said, given Burris's age and the workload of the senate compared to the comfortable retirement he was enjoying previously, he may opt not to run for reelection.
However, given the IL-GOP's track record, it's entirely possible that they wouldn't nominate Kirk at all and would instead throw the seat away by nominating a club-for-growther or a fundie.
