REYNOLDS, Ind.Two meetings in recent days in this Midwestern state showed the predicament facing Sen. Richard Lugar, a six-term Republican with a centrist profile, as he runs for re-election next year.
When Mr. Lugar came to this farming town of 500 people Saturday to build bridges with a local tea-party group, he found mostly skepticism.
"You seem to feel you're somehow indispensable in Washington," Bob Callahan, 65, a retired salesman from Monticello, told the senator at meeting in an elementary-school gym.

I know several extreme liberals who really like Lugar and are sooooo glad he’s the “Republican” senator. They tell me they can’t stand Republicans, but Lugar is ok. Hmm....
Why should I sit here and imagine that we have a Freeper who knows Leftwingtards who tell him they really love Lugar?
I mean, this goes both ways ~ I've followed Lugar for his entire career. The last 3 or 4 years he's begun sounding quite dingy. He's overdue for the rest home for multi-millionaires.
Democrats prefer their turncoats fresh up and alert ~ there's no way they can depend on those mentally impaired to vote "correctly".
Thanks for the ping!
I hope that they are, also, targeting ALL Indiana state GOP/Dem politicians, who are caving into the wishes of labor unions, and this includes the much needed disapproval of “Establishment Republican” Governor Mitch Daniels running for ‘12 POTUS.
They can get rid of Boner while they are at it.
