It’s pretty unfair to compare Dana Milbank and Jayson Blair by lumping them together with no real connection, isn’t it?

Almost as bad as this headline and column from Dana Milbank lumping Richard Mourdock and federal prisoner Keith Judd together, Richard Mourdock and Keith Judd vs. Washington:

Both men were beneficiaries of voter...

That’s the name of a Twitter account which has been active throughout the Indiana primary, and it certainly hit the mark:

Lots of telephone calls were flying between politicians on election night.

It’s not enough for Operation Counterweight to get a candidate through the primary.  We need to support the candidate immediately to keep the momentum going.

Richard Mourdock is not running to the left (often mischaracterized as running to the center) one bit.

Listen to this interview, which has the mainstream media up in arms because Mourdock...

Sen. John Kerry: Sen. Lugar’s defeat is a “tragedy for the Senate” #INSEN

“It’s time” has been Richard Mourdock’s campaign theme.  “It’s time” captured beautifully why it’s time to retire Dick Lugar:  Too long in office, too long in Washington, D.C., too long considering himself to be the office he holds, too willing to go along to get along, too willing to act as cheerleader...

Dick Lugar has jumped the shark with this ad he just released, via The Weekly Standard:

With this ad, Dick Lugar deserves to be remembered as a dishonorable politician who would stoop to anything to get reelected.

I hope Indiana voters tell him not to let the door hit him on the way out.  No...

I’ve been traveling without a computer this weekend but this story at IndyStar is worth a PDA post, so excuse some formatting issues like no embedded links.

The inclination I’ve had to feel sorry for Dick Lugar that his career may reach an inglorious end is rapidly dissipating. Lugar demonstrates daily why...

He was kind enough to call me, and we had a great conversation.

I realize it’s a lot easier to get a return call from someone not at the top in the polls, but not all candidates are that way.  (I’ve been trying to talk to a certain other insurgent Senate candidate...

This is sad, via IndyStar:

This is the poll Lugar supporters were saying is the only reliable poll. No public link yet, but Barney Keller of Club for Growth says confirmed:

The Lunch Pail Republicans have formally endorsed Dick Lugar.

The group was formed in early January 2012 specifically to fight Indiana’s right to work law which was signed into law in February.

The Lunch Pail Republicans are funded by a union PAC, as detailed in this entry at RedState:

While Richard Mourdock is rising, don’t count Dick Lugar out.  He’s throwing everything he has at Mourdock this week, each day multiple new accusations.  A poll just out shows Lugar with a two point lead, via National Journal:

Sen. Richard Lugar and Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock are in a dead heat according...

This is the third and last in a series examining Dick Lugar’s failure on policy towards Iran, which consistently exhibited wishful thinking about appeasing the regime in the hope the Iranians would negotiate in good faith over their missile and nuclear programs, and their export of terrorism:

I have serious problems with Dick Lugar’s record, particularly on his alleged foreign policy expertise.

As documented here, Lugar has engaged in repeated wishful thinking on Iran (one more post in the series still to come), and irresponsibly vouched for Obama’s foreign policy credentials just three weeks before the 2008 election.

But, there...

The Young Guns Network, and its YG Action Fund, were started by two former aides to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.

The Young Guns have infuriated supporters of Richard Mourdock in the Indiana Senate primary race, as well as many conservatives who had no stake in the race, by spending over $100,000...
