Photo of JK at the signing of the New START treaty

There were many articles that the treaty was signed, but this is the first one I have seen that mentioned that JK was there or had a picture. The article itself is on Lugar's fight with the tea partiers. (As a former Hoosier, I really think the tea party rudeness - if it comes against someone as well know, respected and liked as Lugar - will backfire.)

1. Yeah, that stinks for Lugar. I am not sure he will make it

through another election given the lunacy of the GOP base. Thanks for the pic, which is important to show he was there. However, it's not a very good picture of him. Oh well, it's all we've got.

2. I haven't spoken to my family, much of which is still in Indiana

I don't know whether primaries are open or not - as I only voted there once - for McGovern in the Democratic primary as a senior in Bloomington. The comments there really were more supportive than I figured they would be. That may not be a good barometer and I do not know there usual tenor, but it is a good sign. (Comments on Boston radio stations re: Kerry are far worse.)

This is one case where I actually prefer Lugar winning - rather than holding out that an unknown Democrat would beat an unknown tea partier. He is needed as a sane Republican elderly statesman.
