Was his opponent any good?

Or just more of the same?

One thing that struck me as odd was a comment from a leftie on my Facebook friends list, who was genuinely puzzled about how anybody could view Lugar as a moderate.

The left doesn't even seem themselves as left - they think they are the middle.

[Pericles]

So long, its been good ot know you - NOT.

Or just more of the same? Fiscally and Constitutionally , yes , he should be an improvement .

It's pretty scary. They genuinely believe they're reasonable.

Or just more of the same? Probably could not get any worse than Dick for a Pub , worst rating of any by NRA , not good , was in office , say 1977 ,by 1982 he was voting to raise taxes , his expertise was supposed to be foreign policy , what do you think about foreign policy since 1977 ?

Not sure what to think of Mourdock. Sure, he is a step up from Lugar. And he got an endorsement from GOA, which is a good sign. I could see Mourdock being along the lines of Demint as a Senator. So take it for what it is. Supports auditing the Fed and balancing the budget.

[oyarde]

Yeah , only thing I know about Murdoch is he will be better than Dick , IF he gets to Demint style , as a Senator , I will take that as a win.... Helluva a step up from just a short time ago of Bayh & Lugar .

[oyarde]

Fed , balancing budget , win.
