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?
No one wanted to run against Lugar, and the $$ wasn't there. I also believe thaat Indiana having several competitive seats (Dems could easily pick up 3 seats) had something to do with it, as Dems wanted to concentrate on that rather than be sidetracked on the impossible task of knocking off Lugar
