Too bad the Democrat is a right-winger.
If he wasn't, Mourdock would lead by 10, I suppose.
While I think these polls probably show the state of the race ATM, I do think the race will break decisively in favor of Mourdock later on, like Keystone Phil.
However, there was no reason for a situation like this to happen for the GOP. Lugar would have been thrashing Donnelly at this point. I still can't believe so many Republicans in this state decided to get rid of the most senior and most respected Republican in the Senate for some State Treasurer with a previously poor electoral record. They just blew thirty-six years of power and experience out the door for a sixty-one year old (likely weak) freshman.
