The Republicans are worried about losing that seat, but the Democrats already have hold with Lugar sitting in it. ;-)Sean Shepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784017076656340302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-27479678495302587912011-05-09T22:26:36.263-05:002011-05-09T22:26:36.263-05:00TM, I agree that Lugar is "electable." ...TM, I agree that Lugar is "electable." But times have changed and he hasn't changed with them. That residency issue may also blow up in his face. What Richard Lugar undisputably has been doing for 30 years is far worse than anything Charlie White has been accused of doing.Paul K.

If Mourdock is the nominee, he'd probably still win the general but it'd be a tougher fight. Joe D will not beat Lugar because of Dems like me who have always voted for the man.Vox Populihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174941325997674801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-75558850415451949752011-05-09T18:57:03.138-05:002011-05-09T18:57:03.138-05:00I'm not convinced that Lugar goes to the post ...I'm not convinced that Lugar goes to the post in 2012. They seem intent on self-destructing. He might choose (wisely) to retire rather than possibly lose an election, either the primary or the general.Paul K.
