Dick Lugar, the longest-serving Republican in the Senate, was defeated Tuesday as Indiana Republicans chose state Treasurer Richard Mourdock over Lugar as the party's nominee.
With 76 percent of precincts reporting, Mourdock received 60 percent to 40 percent for Lugar in the Hoosier state's Senate primary, marking a huge win for tea party supporters and conservatives across the country.

Mourdock, speaking at a victory rally in Indianapolis Tuesday night, said that many supporters who joined up with the tea party or other groups wondered at the beginning of his campaign if they could "do the impossible." "Tonight, you did," he said, to wild applause.
Mourdock, who was visibly emotional throughout his speech (notes for which he said he accidentally left at his apartment) asked the audience to honor his opponent, a man he said was never his "enemy."

But Mourdock quickly turned his attention to the general election, accusing his new opponent, Rep. Joe Donnelly-- who ran unopposed in Tuesday's Democratic party-- of being too cozy with President Obama and "that won't be accepted by Hoosier voters.

If A judge strikes it down GOD will Strike the Tar Heel state with a natural disaster. Since North Carrolina doesnt get earthquakes it might get an category 5 hurricane.

then God must hate NC cause they get hurricanes regularly. I think its more a case of being in an unfortunate location though.
