Yes - Lugar is pretty much worthless and has become such a permanent part of Washington as to be no longer for the citizens of Indiana, but merely for himself.
(I dont even remember him ever helping out with anyone else's campaign.)
HOWEVER - while I was originally against appointing such a worthless turd as Sec of State or some other post, I have since changed my mind and now fully support Lugar finding a place in the Obama administration.
You see - if Obama takes him, then the Senate seat will open up, and maybe - just maybe - our state party officials will find someone that is more reflective of our conservative values to replace him.
