    We can but hope. Though what is really needed is for moderate,   
    responsible republicans to start fighting agains the tea   
    baggers. By which I mean fighting to drive them out of the   
    actual election, don't support them just because they cover   
    their tea party label with the republican label.

    Which is how it goes. I do know of one republican who was   
    elected from here who did not become one of the insiders he   
    campaigned against. He really meant it. He remained independent.   
    The republican party let him go down in the next election.

    That is what I am talking about when I say they need to fight   
    against the tea baggers. Lugar should make video asking the   
    responsible republicans to sit out the election, that's the only   
    way they can stop the extreme right wing swing of the party.

    They excell at that. Joe the Plumber is no different.
