Lugar’s Time in Indiana

The Evansville Courier & Press highlights a tough statistic for Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN), who is already facing attacks on his legal residency in Indiana.

“A
week ago, U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar’s campaign — under fire from state
Treasurer Richard Mourdock in the Republican primary — offered details
on exactly how many days he’s spent in Indiana over his 36-year tenure
in office. The answer: 1,805 days, or nearly five years total.”

The
campaign of Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) noted
that in just five years in office, he had spent 1,151 days and 1,029
nights in Indiana.
