Some Indiana Republicans are now backing Democrat Joe Donnelly’s senate campaign in Indiana in response to GOPer Richard Mourdock’s proclamation against bipartisanship, reports the Daily Reporter:

A half dozen members of “Republicans for Donnelly” said Thursday they were unhappy with Republican Richard Mourdock’s declaration that he would oppose bipartisanship in Washington. The group’s formation comes a few days after ousted Sen. Richard Lugar said in a television interview that he wouldn’t campaign for Mourdock.

Anne Emison Wishard says that while she is vocal about her support she represents a silent bloc of Indianapolis Republicans disenfranchised by Mourdock.
