"Most Lugar backers will support Donnelly (the democrat), completely forgetting all of their "be a team player" exhortations to Mourdock supporters"...Commenter

"To a large degree, this race has become the marquee Republican primary of the 2012 election cycle, this year’s equivalent of the epic 2010 Marco Rubio-Charlie Crist contest in Florida."...

Mourdock has already been elected statewide twice, so he will be tough to define as a nut. However, I am equally certain that most Lugar backers will support Donnelly, completely forgetting all of their "be a team player" exhortations to Mourdock supporters at the beginning of the year."
