but Donnelly is going to be more competitive against Mourdock than he would have been against Lugar, who basically would have been handed the election IMHO. Lugar always had a pretty broad coalition of people- including Democrats- voting for him (I have voted for him before). Mourdock will get the GOP Tea Party "base" but may have difficulties attracting indies and Democrats. If Donnelly can bring in some indies and maybe even some disaffected Republicans pissed over Lugar's defeat, he might very well pull it out. The race that I'm really concerned about is the gubernatorial race with Mike Pence running on the GOP ticket. *ugh* 
I'd take another term of Daniels over him any day.
