So, this makes Lugar the anti-establishment candidate?

That's... not... right...

Can someone please explain to me what the supposed problem with Lugar is?

He voted for the DREAM Act and for the START treaty most recently, as well as TARP

Ah, gotcha. Terrifying that those three votes suddenly make a long and well-respected Senator lose his party's support.

They'd have gone for him anyway. Always has smelt a little wet.

Joe Donnelly is talking about taking on Mourdock and running for Senate. Getting a rougher seat in redistricting is likely a good incentive, especially if Mourdock turns out to be the Ken Buck of Indiana in a more balanced year than 2010 was.

Surely future Republican candidates will learn from Buck's error and not alienate women with Neanderthal-like views on rape?
