Lugar won’t stump for Mourdock

INDIANAPOLIS — U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar says he doesn’t intend to campaign for the man who defeated him in Indiana’s Republican primary.

Lugar said Sunday he would not actively campaign on behalf of GOP senatorial nominee Richard Mourdock. The state treasurer will face Democrat Joe Donnelly in November.

Lugar didn’t even refer to Mourdock by name during his TV appearance.

Lugar issued a statement chastising Mourdock for his unwillingness to compromise after the tea party favorite soundly beat him in the May 8 primary election.

Lugar says he still thinks most Hoosiers support him.
