Sen. Dick Lugar’s (R-IN) challenger in the Republican primary, Indiana state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, has announced his own first TV ad. The spot will run this week, on statewide cable during the Republican Presidential debates on Fox News and CNN.
The announcer says: “Since 1976, Dick Lugar has voted for: The Brady Bill; the Bridge to Nowhere; the DREAM Act; the TARP bailout; Sonia Sotomayor; Elena Kagan; raising The Debt Ceiling. Dick Lugar — no wonder he’s called ‘Obama’s Favorite Republican.’
“Richard Mourdock: balance the budget; end earmarks; repeal Obamacare. Richard Mourdock — it’s time.”
