Sen. Richard Lugar's primary defeat may not have been a surprise to
political wise guys, but it was a miserable setback for excellence,
virtue and general good sense in public life.
It demonstrates once more the barbarity that has come to
characterize the tea party-like legions within the present-day
Republican Party. Moderation can be fatal there these days.
Think about it, in Colorado terms. Would John Love, Will Nicholson,
Gordon Allott, John Vanderhoof, Don Friedman and Jim Johnson have fit
the rigid-right 2012 mold of the Grand Old Party.?.
