(CBS News) In his first interview since he lost his primary earlier this month, Indiana Republican Senator Richard Lugar said he had no plans to campaign for Richard Mourdock, who beat him.
"For the time being, I don't plan an active campaign," Lugar said on "Face the Nation."
The 80-year old lawmaker, known for reaching a landmark post-Cold War agreement on weapons reductions with Russia, has served in the Senate for 36 years. He lost to Tea Party-backed State Treasurer Richard Mourdock by 20 percent during the May 8 primary.
Lugar told host Bob Schieffer that Republican voters in Indiana wrote off the need for bipartisanship.

Good. Who wants him?
Hey Dick, you were a big politician, but you are a small man.
Sour grapes, old fart. No more RINOs.
Ditto.
“The 80-year old lawmaker, known for reaching a landmark post-Cold War agreement on weapons reductions with Russia, has served in the Senate for 36 years.”
That’s three strikes right there, Dick.
Lugar isn’t done yet. Lame duck session will include him actively pushing the UN LOST treaty , and who knows what else. A window to push globalist agenda
he is free to campaign for the Democrats now. lol
Hey RINO, is that a promise?
Dick is more than his first name.
Work or actually producing is not what Establishment rulers do. This would include doing ANYTHING that benefits Republican voters, especially conservatives.
This is exactly why they despised Newt, or the thought of Newt arriving on their DC turf as a nominee. He wore them out as Speaker and they hate him for it.
Send McConnel home. Send Boehner home. Send Cantor home.
I’m even sick of Coburn (OK), and Cornyn (TX). These guys stick their neck out now for no one who isn’t RINO, least of all for kick butt conservatives, whom they water board upon arrival.
No one needs bipartisanship but the damned liberals.
dick head ing home, eh? No big loss.
I’m even sick of Coburn (OK), and Cornyn (TX).
Some of us have been sick of Cornyn for a long time. He’s up for reelection in 2014. Hopefully we’ll have a good candidate to run against him and get him out of there.
>> I’m even sick of Coburn (OK), and Cornyn (TX)
Ditto.
Your and my supposedly conservative senators are both too rino for comfort.
Has Mourdock thanked him for saying he won’t campaign for him?
Any pol who loses by 20% brings nothing to the party.
It is time for term limits, senate and house. Take your marbles and go home Dick, no one will miss you. Enjoy playing by yourself.
Can’t imagine who I could recommend. How about you. Wish we had Alan West type. Smart, charasmatic, deadly serious and conservative to the shoe soles.
We may have fired our best shot with Cruz and it’s going to be a bloody fur flying fight during this run off campaign to squeeze him in through the sheep gate.
Heck, there are conservatives on FR who don’t know the difference between him and the establishment Dewhurst and don’t seem to care. Amazing.
