Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., one of the longest-serving members of the Senate, lost the Republican primary to state Treasurer Richard Mourdock on Tuesday. With 14 percent of the vote counted according to the AP tally, NBC News has called the race for Mourdock, who leads Lugar 61 percent to 39 percent.
Facing a headwind of tea party anger and hamstrung by a lingering story about his out-of-state residency, Lugar's campaign struggled badly in the final weeks of the campaign to make a forceful case for his re-election.

I'm certain that there were and are a number of candidates who really believe that they would be the best to win against Obama but what that really got for those of us in the conservative camp was a true non-conservative on any level, simply because the others refused to pool their resources for "the best candidate" to win.
He has what, eight months to find some little thing on K Street.
In my best Cosell voice-”Down goes Lugar!!!” Goodbye RINO!
“Can’t do it in Indiana, they have a “Sore Loser” Law.”
Awsome.....
“Can’t do it in Indiana, they have a “Sore Loser” Law.”
Awesome.....
He can do a lot of damage in 8 months.
If Indiana couldn't reject a RINO occasionally, the country is lost.
Yuk, yuk...boy is this going to make Peggy Noonan mad....tough!!
“Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., one of the longest-serving members of the Senate.”
Serving actually implies doing something for someone. There is no senator working for the people any longer or either party.
Much the same exists in the House.
We are the highest taxes, least served people in the history of the world.
f - em vote them all out. Every time, every vote. Move to have one six year term then gone - by the people.
hopping up and down in joy....
another rino bites the dust
He has been holding off support of the Lost treaty (Law of the Sea) until after the primary. He is going full left now.
The Obamedia’s reports of the TEA Party’s demise were greatly exaggerated. Just wait until November’s electoral tsunami hits.
BUMP
Here’s where the gop.e really starts to panic. Mwuhahahahaha
Couldn’t happen to a worse whore of a party.
Yeah, if the mainstream media doesn't see you banging a bongo in the street, you're dead. Nah, the Tea Party shows up when it counts -- on election day.
Great stuff, I needed some good political news.
