Lugar Challenger Gets Support of Indiana GOP
Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock (R) will announce his primary challenge to Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) tomorrow "with the support of a majority of both the state's 92 Republican county chairmen and its state party executive committee," The Fix reports.

Said Mourdock: "I feel bad that he's going to be humiliated by this list."

"That such a large contingent of the party establishment should come out against or withhold support from an incumbent senator is highly unusual and reflects the difficult path ahead for Lugar in advance of the May 8, 2012, primary fight."
