I can't believe I missed this, but how come there was no Democratic nominee for the Senate in Indiana this year? Did no one even try to get on the ballot or did someone decide not to file at the last minute and the party wasn't able to get someone on the primary ballot in time and noone got enough votes in the Democratic primary to get on the general election ballot. Can someone in the know tell me what happened?
None of the above. Lugar is simply so popular that no Democrat wanted to run against him.
