Richard Mourdock now leads Barack Obama&#8217;s favorite Republican, Dick Lugar. But it is close. Surprisingly for so many conservative activists who backed Eric Cantor for his leadership position, the House Republican Leader has decided to engage in this and other races for the more moderate and liberal candidates. Whodathunk Eric Cantor would become like Mitch McConnell, but he is. And not only that, Eric Cantor has decided to engage in the Indiana Senate race — a Senate race, not a House race. So the cool thing is if you open your checkbook and help Richard Mourdock, you aren&#8217;t just dealing a blow to Mitch McConnell, but to Eric Cantor and Barack Obama too. All three of them want Dick Lugar to stick around Washington.Seriously, Eric Cantor&#8217;s PAC is asking Democrats to go vote to save Dick Lugar. The House Republican Leader wants Democrats to save Dick Lugar. That&#8217;s messed up.Do what you can to make sure Indiana sends Dick Lugar home. Oh wait . . . Dick doesn&#8217;t live in Indiana anymore. That&#8217;s why his Board of Elections says he can&#8217;t vote in Indiana. Still, get him out of the Senate.But that&#8217;s not all.]]>Mon, 30 Apr 2012 04:46:00 -0400<![CDATA[Erick Erickson]]>https://redstate.com/erick/2012/04/30/conservatives-are-gaining-but-need-help-making-mitch-mcconnells-life-truly-miserable-n42995
