2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHas Richard Lugar been interviewed yet for his reaction on the Mourdock implosion?
In 2006, Richard Lugar was still such a strong Senator that he didn't even have a Democratic opponent. Only the Libertarians ran against him.
Lugar won 87% of the vote!

This week a seat that just 6 years ago had not even been worth contesting, was won by the Democrats by 6%.
Amazing turnaround of events. And all because the GOP far-right nominated Mourdock.
Do you think Lugar is having the last laugh today?
