Indiana voters say no to Lugar, yes to Tea Party B.S.

People in Indiana came to the polls in resounding numbers and gave new life to the floundering tea party movement. The Tea Party candidate, Richard Mourdock took an amazing 61% or 403,293 votes to Richard Lugar's pathetic showing of 39% or 262388 votes.

I personally don't understand how people in Indiana rationalize how they vote.

They'd rather put a person in power in Mourdock who is ill advised, squandered millions as former state treasurer and didn't show up to work greater than 60% of the time, than go with the trusted and tried leader that Lugar was for being on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and spear heading reductions in nuclear arms with Russia.

In my eyes, if it isn't broke don't fix it. Super-Pac's spent millions influencing this race and Hoosier's votes and in the end smeared the namesake of a honorable and trusted long time Indiana institution in Lugar.
Mourdock, being a freshman Senator, assuming he wins, will have no seats on powerful committee's and won't have the influence and power the once mighty Lugar did.

I just think, once again, Hoosier's dropped the ball and now the entire country will pay for the lack of just prudence by Indiana voters.
