The Club for Growth is running a new television ad against Senator Dick Lugar (R., Ind.) entitled, “Clinging.” The free-market-advocacy group is supporting his challenger, state treasurer Richard Mourdock, in the May 8 primary.
“What’s happened to Dick Lugar?” the narrator asks. “He was a respected national leader, a statesman. Then, he became part of the problem, joining the liberals in voting for record debt, bailouts, and tax hikes.

The ad concludes, “Dick Lugar: Thirty-five years in Washington is enough.” Watch below.
