I wouldn't call only 79% in solid Republican territory Indiana "solid conservative" for Richard Lugar. Senator Lugar's record should be much better than Peter Fitzgerald's, but it t'aint so I still put Luugee in the Arlen "Scottish Law" Sphincter category.

I didn't say Lugar voted "solid conservative". I said he voted far MORE conservative than Zell Miller ever has. Given Miller's Olympia Snowe-style record, my assessment is certainly true. I'm tired of the Miller worship.

Looking at Lugar's record on it's OWN, I'd say it's about time for him to retire and Indiana to get a new Senator more in line with the state's very conservative tilt. However, my Senator is Peter Fitzgerald. As you noted, Fitzgerald is to the right of Lugar and about as conservative as you can get in Daley country.

As for Miller, he isn't called Zig Zag Zell for nothing. The guy is a pro-abortion, pro-gay "rights", Clinton-loving Democrat that's managed to dupe most of his state into thinking he shares their values because he makes token speeches knocking Daschle (but never does anything about it) Georgia HAD a REAL conservative in that seat, Paul Coverdell, but poor Paul died and a bunch of "Republicans" we quite happy to see a 'RAT get the seat and throw the Senate to Daschle's control. Thankfully, at least Saxby is around to cancel out his votes now and Zig Zag Zell's going to hit the retirement home in two years.
