AI,

I think Mourdock would prefer others do the heavy lifting and attack the issue. But it would be more effective coming from the candidate, albeit some would view Mourdock negatively for doing so.

I guarantee the Ds will attack the issue head on. That's one reason Donnelly is in the race. Maybe Lugar could at least rent an apartment in the State instead of using someone's house as his address?

I also heard Mourdock's campaign doesn't plan to make an issue of the residency issue, Paul. If that is the case, then he doesn't deserve to win the nomination. The Democrats are going to go for his throat on the issue if Lugar is renominated, particularly after the Charlie White case.

Gary, did you hear if Lugar was at the Republican state dinner? A high-ranking Republican compained to me about Lugar that he hasn't been to one of their state dinners in 20 years. He used to be a big Lugar backer. No more.

I also heard there were a lot of top Republcian who are unhappy that Lugar doesn't even have a residence in Indiana. The issue of Lugar's lack of residence, and lying about his residence to vote, will be a political issue in the election even if it does not turn out to be a legal issue.

BayernFan, I don't think you realize how unhappy the Republican rank-and-file is with Lugar. Whether that will translate to the Republican electorate remains to be seen. But it's not exactly a large step.

If Senator Lugar has any brains left he will bow out of the race now! As far as Mitch goes he has no choice but to back Lugar. I am sure he knows that Lugar will exact revenge if Mitch tries to throw hiw overboard. If ten of the state central commitee members are indeed backing Mourdock than that is a serious blow to the republican esatblishment in this state! Hopefully we Republicans can rid ourselves of the Lugar elitists and their ilk once and for all!
