Sarah Palin endorses Richard Mourdock in Indiana Senate race

By Richard K. Barry

Richard Mourdock is challenging long-time GOP incumbent Dick Lugar for the party nomination in the Indiana Senate race. Lugar is considered by many in the Tea Party wing of the GOP to be too moderate.

Sarah Palin is, naturally, supporting the Tea Party choice in an attempt to push Lugar out. With or without Palin's intervention, the nomination race will likely be close.

Any chance the Democrats have to steal a seat like this is based on the Republicans going rogue with their candidate. It would still be a long-shot, but it's good to see Palin stirring the pot. Thanks for the assist.
