What was stunning about the endorsement of Mourdock was the chain of events described by the Politico in Indiana on the Friday before the Primary. The Indiana GOP - in cahoots with the SRCC and the RNC - listed a series of events, rallies, phone banks, etc that they were sponsoring for Lugar over that weekend. That went out at 10 AM. At 2 PM that same Friday, Palin endorsed Mourdock. By 6 PM that same night, the Indiana GOP, SRCC, RNC and such WITHDREW all of those events they had planned for Lugar. They basically admitted they cannot compete with her endorsement power.
WOW.
