But now he is gone. Still a nice concession speech.

[Vigilanteman]

This is about the only conservative upset in the whole election year thus far.

Not so. Two weeks ago, we Pennsylvanians rejected a GOP establishment nominee for U.S. Senate. In fact, he finished third behind two TEA Party backed candidates.

[EternalVigilance]

He says he wants to see a Republican in the White House

What a shame that his party isn't nominating one.

Thanks SeekAndFind.

"When I began this campaign, Sen. Lugar was not my enemy. He is not now my enemy; he will never be my enemy. He was, simply, over the last 15 months, my opponent," Mourdock said.

Just wait.

[luvbach1]

Right. I was ambiguous.

[Fledermaus]

Good Riddance DICK Lugar.

[Fledermaus]

I believe Utah is already voted and Orrin squeaked it out. Or was kowtowing to the tea party before the election, I heard on Rush that he was safe.

[Road Glide]

Oh the foes will rise
With the sleep still in their eyes
And they’ll jerk from their beds and think they’re dreamin’
But they’ll pinch themselves and squeal
And they’ll know that it’s for real
The hour when the ship comes in
And they’ll raise up their hands
And say “we’ll meet all your demands”
But we’ll shout from the bow
“Your days are numbered!”
And like Pharaoh’s tribe
They’ll be drowned in the tide
And like Goliath
They’ll be conquered.

[Fledermaus]

Yeah, Class “A”$$hole!

[henkster]

“Now hope Lugar doesn’t pull a Lisa Murkowsky backed up by the GOPe. Remember how they pulled the rug out from under Joe Miller?”

Under Indiana law, a person who loses a contested primary cannot run in the general election. That includes running under a different party or as an independent.

[henkster]

Lugar ran a very bad campaign. I think that for so many years he just showed up and said “here I am” and that was good enough. He forgot how to compete. He attacked Mourdock from day 1, but never got around to telling the voters why they should vote for him instead of voting against a challenger. Very strange way for an incumbent to run a campaign.

[OPS4]

Lugar has been a John McCain for the past 8 years good riddance

[OPS4]

Lugar is no conservative

[Darren McCarty]

Good riddance to an anti-2nd Amendment individual.

[Windflier]

most folks won’t recognize those lyrics...but I do.

Damn, are we really that old? Heck, I've still got some pepper mixed in with the salt :-)

[hoosierham]

I’ve always wanted to fire a Lugar,and today we did.

Lugar has been an internationalist from the beginning;we need people in office who work for the people of United States ‘ best interests, not the UN.

[Carry_Okie]

It is now time to keep a very short leash on Dick Lugar as regards ratifying either the UN Law of the Sea Treaty (UNCLOS) or the UN Small Arms Treaty. That weasel has every reason to twist the knife on the way out.

I’m almost constantly listening to Rush since 1985. I guess I missed that one. Musta taken a call from a client and focused on makin a livin.

I found out today that they have a purple shampoo that helps take the yellow out of my grey.........had no idea it was even a problem or a possibility:)

I found out today that they have a purple shampoo that helps take the yellow out of my grey...

Sounds like a cool product. I've seen a few folks who could use it. All my grey is silver white, so I don't need it. Grecian Formula maybe...
