I don't see how Donnelly can ever overcome his vote for Obamacare. It destroyed Ellsworth, and it is going to destroy Donnelly too. It was political suicide, if you want to represent Indiana.

(a) Dan Coats only got 40% of the primary vote because he was running against 4 opponents. In that case, 40% is a pretty good showing. Mourdock got the field cleared for him and ran head to head with Lugar. Comparing their vote %'s is meaningless.

(b) No matter what early polling suggested, Dan Coats running away with the general election against Brad Ellsworth should not have been surprising given Coats' credentials, particularly that he had already served as Senator for 10 years. Mourdock has no such service record.

Smart money is on Mourdock to win, but don't think that he's going to be able to steamroll Donnelly the way Coats' did Ellsworth. I would be surprised if national Democrat money didn't pour into the state to support Donnelly. He probably represents their best shot to pick off a seat this year.

I never heard of or even knew that Richard Murdock had any opponent in the general election.

-Since that guy paid for the poll, it was nice of them to give that guy "hope". Unfortunately, that "hopey-changey thing" is NOT working out for us!!!
