How any conservative can support Richard Lugar in 2012 is beyond me. This time there is an eminently electable, conservative Republican alternative in Richard Mourdock, and, unlike in 2006 (when the environment was toxic for Republicans), there is no chance that the Dems can win the seat in November.
Of course, one would also think that Lugar would like to retire to his home in Virginia and make even easier money serving on boards of directors and such, but he likes to be called “Chairman” and would like to become President Pro Tempore of the Senate. I hope that Hoosier Republicans don’t give him the pleasure, and that conservatives across the nation pitch in to help make it happen.
Yep!
This is one primary which I hope to see a turnover. Richard Lugar has been in the Senate for way too long and has become part of the problem.

Lugar has been in DC so long he’s been declared ineligible to vote in Indiana!
