One hopes that Lugar is going down for being no more of a Republican than is the Massachusetts mushball. Lugar is more reliable than Romney on the babies while being a very reliable ally of Vladimir Putin and other enemies of our country in his tenure on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on the despicable START Treaty, and on soooo much more. Mourdoch has every appearance of being an actual Republican and an actual conservative. Not only that but, unlike Father Time, Mourdoch actually has a residence in Indiana. Mitch Daniels should be ashamed of himself for endorsing Lugar, a Demonrat in GOP drag. This defection of Daniels, along with his call for a "social issues truce" at CPAC 2011, should NEVER be forgotten.
It is not for nothing that Richard Ligar has been known at various times as Richard Nixon's favorite Mayor, Riochard Nixon's favorite Senator and Barack Obama's favorite Republican Senator, despite stiff competition (Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Lamar Alexander, Bob Corker, Lindsay Graham, John McCain and so many, many others).
Hopefully there will be full coverage of Lugar's tears and flapdoodle on primary night after he has lost.
