Lugar expects to seek 7th Senate term in 2012

SOUTH BEND, Ind. —
Republican Sen. Richard Lugar said Wednesday that he plans on seeking a seventh term in 2012 in a bid that would extend his run as the longest-serving U.S. senator in Indiana history.

After speaking about world affairs and taking questions during a luncheon at The Summit Club, a private dining club in South Bend, the 78-year-old Lugar said he will run again, though he has not formally announced his candidacy.

"I suppose there will be a place and a time to do that, to rally the forces, to get the fundraisers going and all of that type of thing. But that's my intent day by day," he said. "Most people in the Senate know I will be around, therefore they have to deal with me on that basis."

1. I thought the movement was all about getting rid of the "establishment" politicians ...

oops, I guess that only means when it's a Democrat ...

2. Lugar on his own is a fairly reasonable human being.

But, he votes with his tribe when it counts.
