Pro-Lugar SuperPAC pulls out of race (rutt-rohh...RINO going down)
Legal Insurrection ^ | 4/27/2012 | William A. Jacobson

This is the worst omen for Dick Lugar in a slew of bad omens this week.

The SuperPAC which has dumped $600,000 of advertising into the Indianapolis market is pulling out of the race:

The American Action Network is pulling out of the Indiana GOP Senate primary, dropping its efforts on behalf of embattled Sen. Dick Lugar less than two weeks before the May 8 election, sources told POLITICO.

Dan Conston, a spokesman for AAN, explained: “We’ve decided we’re going to let this race play out.”

The group has already begun to pull its TV dollars; no further ads will run after Tuesday and digital advertising in the race has stopped effective immediately.

Republicans have told me the ads appear to have helped move the needle in Indianapolis, but the sense across the party is that the race has broken in Mourdock’s direction throughout Indiana.

Of course you are right about the numbers.but it looks as thouf Lugar will be replaced by a Conservative, and hopefully Hatch would be too.

Except for the numbers RINO’s do us more harm than good. Look what they placed as our Candidate.

Reid cannot be all that bad a fellow. He and Mitch McConnell get along fabulously./s/

If a Super Pac pulls out of a race a week or two before the vote, it must be concluding that it no longer can influence the outcome.

This is very encouraging.

You think Utah or Indiana would possibly select a Dem in this electin cycle? The republican presidential candidate is from Utah. Indiana is going to be overwhelmingly republican. Both are locks. We need new conservative blood. Especially I’m red states.
