Mourdock Links Sen. Lugar (R-IN) To Obama In Campaign Announcement

http://www.theindychannel.com/news/26951476/detail.html

Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock officially kicked off his campaign Tuesday to challenge long-time Sen. Dick Lugar in 2012, calling the veteran senator "Barack Obama's favorite Republican."

Mourdock, a favorite of the tea party, plans a conservative challenge to Lugar, who some Republicans believe isn't conservative enough.

In a news release that accompanied Mourdock's announcement to about 150 supporters, the candidate ripped Lugar for voting for supporting Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, Obama's Supreme Court nominees, and for co-sponsoring the DREAM Act, an immigration amnesty proposal.
