- In-Sen: Why Sen. richard Lugar’s Primary Challenger Is No Sharron Angle – Democratic campaign officials are looking at closely at contesting the Senate race in Indiana, where Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) is at risk of losing the Republican nomination to a candidate running to his right, state Treasurer Richard Mourdock (R).
They liken the situation in Indiana to the 2010 Senate races in Delaware and Nevada, where weak conservative candidates emerged and ended up losing winnable races.
But while Mourdock upsetting the longtime senator would give Democrats a better shot at picking up the seat – no Democrat even challenged Lugar in 2006 – the party still would face a tough task winning in a Republican-friendly state. Here's why:
Mourdock's Part Of The Establishment: While Mourdock does not have the experience Lugar has winning Senate races, he is a statewide officeholder in his second term.
