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?

Lugar is the type who would do that, look at how he campaigned, and that was “his” seat.

[A. Morgan]

Dick Lugar is not very popular here, not at all!

[izzatzo]

But, according to this from FoxNews.com, Lugar will support Mourdock:

“After returns from the primary came in, Lugar conceded to Mourdock before a crowd of supporters. He says he wants to see a Republican in the White House and will support Mourdock in his race against Democrat Joe Donnelly for the Senate seat.”

I'm not picking on you personally but this is starting to mildly annoy me. Another Freeper and myself have posted multiple times on different Lugar related threads that INDIANA HAS A SORE LOSER LAW!

Dick Lugar is done! He can now spend more quality time with his Grandchildren. If he actually owned a home in Indiana, he could now sell his beltway digs and move back to the state he represented (poorly) for decades.

Miller should have stood up for himself....instead he just kinda sat back and let it happen to him..........I hope Lugar and the GOPe do not try this in Indiana.

[Reagan is King]

I believe Indiana has a “sore loser” law that prevents Lugar from running as an independent after losing a primary. Thankfully so, as he probably would try it.

not a chance...Lugar has so much clout that he'll spend the rest of his life making speeches, public appearances, and money. He is also a class "A" individual !!

[katykelly]

Did you click on the link and listen to the speeches ? Lugar was classy and threw his support to Mourdock , Mourdock said the GOP Senate guy , John Cornyn , called and he has their backing . It seems the GOP elite are paying attention , for the moment .

[KansasGirl]

He can’t. Indiana has a sore loser law. He can’t run in he general for any party after losing the primary.

[LibertarianLiz]

I read someplace, yesterday, that in Indiana, you cannot do that. If you lose a race in a primary, you are not allowed to file as a third party candidate.

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.
