Probably not. You had a lot of Utah money pour into Indiana to get lugar out of the way (As seniormost Republican) and once that was done that was the end of outside funding.

BTW, the Utah crowd guessed wrong all the way around ~ all their plans crashed.

Lugar deserved to get dumped. He was a collaborationist with the Democrats and had been for a long time. He should’ve been “retired” a quarter century ago. Nobody knew Mourdock’s own mouth would cost him a safe GOP seat.
