From the Indianapolis Star: Sen. Richard Lugar's campaign came down to one word Friday: "help."
In
the political equivalent of an SOS, the Navy veteran urged Hoosiers of
any political persuasion who like what he's done in his 36-year career
in the Senate to help him stay there.
"Every person in Indiana
who wants me to continue, every person wherever they might be at this
point, I encourage them to come out," he said. "Come out immediately,
as fast as you can."
The reason for the urgency: The primary election is Tuesday, and a new
poll shows state Treasurer Richard Mourdock defeating Lugar, 48 percent
to 38 percent.
That's a dramatic slide for Lugar, who won in 2006 with more than 80
percent of the vote after Democrats didn't field a candidate against
him. Only a month ago, another Howey/DePauw Indiana Battleground poll
showed Lugar leading Mourdock, 42 percent to 35 percent.
Robert Dion, a University of Evansville political science professor, summed it up simply: "devastating."
Mourdock's
campaign spokesman, Chris Conner, said the poll -- taken Monday and
Tuesday of 700 likely GOP primary voters statewide, with a margin of
error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points -- confirms what that
campaign has believed: http://www.indystar.com/article/20120505/NEWS0502/205050318?odyssey=mod|mostcom
Lugar has been a RINO for some time and he has been in the Senate way too long- 36 years. He, like others like Coward/Crybaby Harry Reid, just have been in Federal politics way too long and they have come to a point that they don't care about their constituents. In Lugar and Reid's mind, Washington D.C. is their constituency instead the people of Indiana and Nevada.
So, if Lugar is ousted in the Indiana primary, all I can say is that thank you for your service and don't let the door hit you on your way out the door.
