INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Sen. Richard Lugar says he will not campaign for the man who vanquished him in May's Republican primary.
Lugar told conservative Indiana blogger Abdul Hakim-Shabazz in an interview posted Monday that he would not actively support Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock on the campaign trail. The six-term senator had previously left the question unanswered. But he raised eyebrows in July when he introduced Mourdock to Senate Republicans at a weekly lunch.
Mourdock is in a tight race with Democrat Joe Donnelly for Indiana's open Senate seat. Senate Republicans and Democrats are going on air in Indiana Tuesday with new ads and outside groups are spending heavily on both sides.
Good Riddance, Lugee
Agree!!
Lugar realized to support the guy he might have to travel to Indiana to do that. He hates Indiana.
Now he can stay inside the Beltway and make more money as a consultant.
Now for the obvious, will RINO Lugar campaign for the Donkey, Joe Donnelly? (I'll bet this sellout will because he can't help himself.)
