INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Richard Mourdock's Senate campaign is now the subject of a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission.
It has to do with the accusation that the Mourdock campaign improperly downloaded information from a GOP database. The state Republican Party last week cut off the campaign's access to the database known as Salesforce.
The complaint was filed by John McCane, a former mayor of Rushville, who alleges that Mourdock used a state campaign committee to pay the $125 fee to access Salesforce and then illegally transferred information including email addresses to his federal campaign.
=======John McCane is a Lugar supporter. His name sounds like - but is spelled differently than - that of the Arizona senator who is scheduled to appear in Lugar campaign ads.=======

Mourdock running as an indy, or what? It sounds crazy for the state GOP to just turn an icy back to him if he really did out-primary Lugar.
As for this, well is all fair in love, war, and politics? I don’t even have any way to guess about the legalities, as the GOP may have promised Mourdock something they can’t just welsh on arbitrarily. I’m not thrilled with the idea of giving carte blanche to politicians to reap other politicians’ email lists, but in this case it seems so counterproductive not to let Mourdock use Lugar’s contacts.
Sounds like the Rove/GOP-e side of the party has thier nickers in a twist!
Well, keep in mind that this is a late posting.(about 3 weeks) This was before the primary happened.
If the state GOP in Indiana is loaded with GOP-E(which it appears that it may be the case), then it would make sense that they would turn their back on Mourdock. Before or after any election, the general election, whatever.
One can never be too sure when it comes to establishment types, other than they are not with us.
SO, in other words, the GOPe is angry that this guy is allowed access to the GOP databases?
And “this guy” is a Republican also.
Gee wiz the GOP-e is a bunch of panseys.
The GOP might as well come out of the closet.
