Richard Mourdock: ‘This Is a Rebellion Inside the Walls.’

Over on the home page, I have a chat with Richard Mourdock, Indiana state treasurer and challenger to Sen. Richard Lugar in that state’s GOP primary this cycle.

Among his most interesting comments:

I have great tea-party support, and I truly appreciate it, and I know he’s going to try to portray this as a tea-party rebellion. It’s not. The day I announced, three quarters of Indiana’s Republican county chairmen signed on to support my candidacy. Today, we’re announcing that more than half of state Republican committee members have signed on. This isn’t about the Tea Party assaulting the walls of the Republican fortress. This is a rebellion inside the walls. And that, too, is why I feel confident that we’re going to win.

This also may be about a message to an 80 year old hack that at some point it's time to go.

What gives with these senatewhorial geezers that feel they're indispensable. Time to retire Dick.
