Unlike colleagues such as Bob Bennett, a senator from Utah unceremoniously dumped by the Republican Party in 2010, Richard Lugar was not caught off guard. Nonetheless on May 8th Mr Lugar lost the primary by a whopping 20-point margin to Richard Mourdock, Indiana's state treasurer and a hero to many tea-parties. Both Republican and Democrat politicians had described the race as a test of the tea party's strength. Those who thought the tea-party movement was wilting after helping to propel Republicans to a thumping victory in the mid-term elections of 2010, Mr Mourdock argues, were simply mistaking evolution for disillusion.
