Campaign Poll: Mourdock 42, Lugar 41 PRIL 18, 2012 • BY MICHAEL WARREN For the first time, Indiana state treasurer Richard Mourdock leads incumbent senator Dick Lugar in a Republican primary poll, 42 percent to 41 percent. The poll, commissioned by the Mourdock campaign, was conducted on April 16 and 17. The Indiana primary is on May 8, less than two weeks away.

Lugar has been dogged by criticisms from outside conservative groups supporting Mourdock for his moderate stances on taxes and spending, as well as his perceived closeness with Democrats and Barack Obama. Mourdock himself has pushed the idea that Lugar is more in touch with Washington than Indiana.

There’s a nice retirement home waiting for Dick Lugar after being in the Senate for a millennium.

Indiana voters MUST help defeat old wobbly 80 year old Lugar, who for being a Senator has lost his thinking abilities. For ALL the years he’s been in office and he didn’t think he needed to still keep an official residence IN THE STATE he supposedly represented{not!) for 35 years, he MUST be retired!

WE DO NOT need our own version of an rickety old Robert Byrd!! What an embarrassment that would be.

The retirement home you mention would of course be in his old home state....of VIRGINIA.

Heck, with an example like him, Indiana voters could elect someone to be our Senator who was a resident from Noplace, Idaho, or outer Siberia. Hey, the guy who ‘thinks’ he’s an Indiana senator MOVED, lock, stock and barrel to Virginia and has called it home for 35 some-odd years! This character has got to go...for good.

Like all the other RINOs, he’ll get help from the left somehow.

Mark is the only talk show host talking about it.
Hannity won’t touch it.
