Dick Lugar, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, was defeated Tuesday as Indiana Republicans chose state Treasurer Richard Mourdock over Lugar as the party's nominee.
The Tea Party has succeeded in primarying out Richard Lugar of Indiana. This has been expected for weeks. With the bad publicity about Lugar no longer being a resident of Indiana, his defeat was inevitable. Democrats believe that his Senate seat will now be a toss-up, but I disagree. I predict Mourdock's victory this fall by about 5 points.
