mr. donnelly, so we will make that point.orter: the primary challenge, his campaign war chest is empty, and donnelly is sitting on $800,000. donnelly, in his case, has the time and will need to spend in introducing himself. he is a congressman in the 2nd district not very well-known in central and certainly not very well-known at all in southern indiana so he has catching up as far as make recognition. >>shepard: thank you, the trial surrounding the actress and singer jennifer hudson's family is coming to a close with the diverse -- defense resting their case. if you are one of the millions of men who have used androgel 1%, there's big news. presenting androgel 1.62%. both are used to treat men with low testosterone. androgel 1.62% is from the makers of the number one prescribed testosterone replacement therapy. it raises your testosterone levels, and... is concentrated, so you could use less gel. and with androgel 1.62%, you can save on your monthly prescription.

mr. donnelly about the potential he's going to bring about this race. mr. onnelly has been close to barack obama for the last several years and we are going to make that record clear and it's not going to be accepted by the voters of indiana. [cheering] let me tell you what we have in washington, d.c. today. sadly we have a nation that is on the brink of bankruptcy. we have a nation that thinks there's nothing but gloom and doom ahead can be turned around but let me tell you why i think that. because i saw another turnaround. it started in the year 2004 when india was a bankrupt state and governor daniels came in and exerted republican leadership and turned what was being referred to as a bolt hole in the rust belt into the best fiscally managed state in the united states of america. [applause] i have been so incredibly proud over the last 15 months as i've traveled the state to have hoosiers tell me how proud they are to the hoosiers, to have been part of this remarkable comeback that governor daniels has led to come in and you know what, the kind of leader

mr. mourdock's opponent this fall will be representative joe donnelly, a democrat from indiana. he represents the south bend area of indiana. and we -- the "washington journal" has invited congressman donnelly to appear on this program, as well. pompano beach, florida. scott. >> caller: good morning. my question to you -- i've been in the army eight years, discharged. and i just happened to -- a guy robbed me. ended up with -- [ inaudible ] now with me being a felon, my question is, how would you -- do you have a situation to where, you know, know -- how could he handle that situation to where, you know, it just seem like i'm being stereotyped. they don't have no idea that i'm honorably discharged soldier. but on the other hand i can understand that people do ruthless crimes and stuff. >> let's see if there's anything that mr. mourdock wants to respond to. >> first, scott, thank you for your service. i obviously don't know the details of the case you're talking about, but i urge you to talk to the folks with either the local civil rights, if you think it's that type of stereotyp

here we see a picture taken just after lunch of governor philip donnelly of misery and mr. churchill himself as harry truman sharing a laugh about something or another probably the ham comment. at around 2 p.m. the police and the secret service began letting people in and many people lined up outside the had a ticket and were able to get one for the canvas. with all of the floor dresses and freshly pressed suits it seemed to be at least to resemble a fancy wedding. almost 200 reporters and photographers were on a makeshift platform suspended precariously above the gym floor to read in the basement cables sneaked around under the chairs and tables and western union operators set up their typewriters checking paper and ribbons. as churchill was taking his afternoon nap so luckily they had in fact given up his bid for a reason he was all the more satisfying and do to the peace that he just consumed and that famous ham harry truman was a little concerned with one detail that it had been overlooked and the was to get churchill his customary free-speech. fulton was in a dry count

and donnelly and mourdach are neck and neck. >> this is a larger issue here between mr.nd mourdach. where dick lugar is on his heels now over being bipartisan. he has a 77% conservative voting record. i grew up with two senator, one of the right and one of the left. i am not a republican. i don't live there but my family lives this. and i grew up with dick lugar as my state senator. to see him on his heels -- what we want in washington is for the parties to get along to solve the major problems. and for the tea party and mr. mourdach, putting him on his back, trying to cross the aisle -- >> what you are saying is being bipartisan has helped. but what has happened in washington that is what the americans are looking at. the situation is worse. >> it's that difference in the tea party and the republicans if you don't vote with you, if you don't have purity, we want you out. >> listen, the conservatives will be -- >> and the state, the guy that is -- >> i would love to bring george in here for one second. what is your take? you know dick lugar and you probably know mr. mour

mr. mourdock's opponent this fall will be representative joe donnelly, a democrat from indiana. he represents the south bend area of indiana, and we, the washington journal has invited congressman donnelly to appear on this program as well. participate know beach, florida, scott, democrat. good morning. >> caller: good morning. my question to you, you know i've been in the army eight years, honorably discharged, and i was just happening to -- two thugs tried to rob me. now, me being as a fella, you know, my question is how would you handle the situation where, you know -- [inaudible] how can you handle that situation to where, you know, it seems like i'm being stereotyped, right? they don't have no idea i'm honorably discharged. i can understand that people do ruthless crimes and stuff, but -- >> host: you know what, scott? let's see if there's anything there that mr. mourdock wants to respond to. >> guest: well, first, scott, thank you for your service, and i obviously don't know the details of the case you're talking about, but urge you to talk to the folks with either the loc

mr. murdoch will be running against a congressman, the democrat in november. how do those go against each other? >> there haven't been many polls but it will be closer than lugar versus donnellyld have been. expected them to make a big fact that lugar took it to the supreme court to the chrysler bankruptcy proceedings. he was arguing on a group of pension funds, donnelly expects to say that would have cost thousands of jobs in automotive industry in indiana. that is what he will start hitting him in the coming days, absolutely. >> what will murdoch will be hitting donnelly with? >> he is going to paint him with much the same brush as he did lugar. pointing to him that is willing to work across aisle where more strident ideology is necessary. donnelly is a democrat and voted for healthcare reform. that is something that murdoch will clearly make an issue of. he will be well founded. establishment, republican party in indiana is going to rally around him in the coming days. he is going to try to run the same kind of campaign that dan coates did in 2010. we'll be watching. thank you. >> reporter: what does rush limbaugh have to say about lugar's battle. >> dick lugar, he a fine

mr. fettig? >> absolutely not. indiana is a red state i truly believe president obama won't be voted in in indiana in the fall. joe donnelly's got a limited following and name recognition and we in the tea party are not done after yesterday. we continue to march forward and fully anticipate to be victorious in november as well. >> ifill: brian howey quickly. >> whad the race ti 35% each for joe donnelly and richard mourdock. under the past 24 years, we've had 16 years of democratic governors and evan bayh held the seat for two terms. a democrat can do it. >> ifill: brian howey, greg fettig, thank you both so much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> brown: next, more details and a major twist in the foiled al qaeda terrorism plot. front pages around the country carried the news today, that the would-be terrorist intending tolow up a u.s. bound airliner was in fact a double agent from saudi arabia. he was supposed to slip past airport security, wearing a sophisticated bomb in his underwear. instead, the agent had infiltrated al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula, based in yemen, and delivered the improvised explosive device, or i.e.d.

his opponent joe donnelly has a problem because the president is not popular here and he'll have to answer for presidential policies he supported. >> governor, i want to play a quote that mrock said to me the day after his victory. >> i certainly think that bipartisanship ought to consist of democrats coming to the republican point of view. we entered this campaign wanting to be a voice and hoping to give more of a national voice to the idea that republicans and more specifically conservatives would be in the majority of the united states senate and the house and hopefully that we have a republican in the white house. if we do that bipartisanship means they have to come our way. >> well, that's his ideal world, governor daniels, but that's not the real world. you saw these budget votes this week. mike lee, rand paul, two people that philosophically richard murdock is closer to on some things let alone the ryan budget, all of them failed and all of them had republican votes against them in some form or another so forget, let's not talk about compromise with the democrats. republicans -- is richard murdo murdock, is he, you know, basically uninformed about how the united st

donnelly who is actually quite popular. he said i think the democrats probably preferred to run against mr. lugar. he's not going to have the easiest fight. >> let me ask you about the general election, how it's shaping up. in an interview on monday, governor romney said this about the auto industry bailout. he says, quote, i pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy and finally, when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet. so i'll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry's come back. >> yeah, well, look, i think romney has got to remember, there's going to be traps out there set for him. he said -- made some comments about the auto bailout early on that were critical. and then weeks later, he seemed like well, people are liking the auto bailout in michigan so this could be a problem for him. matt, as much as the democrats and maybe even you at times, want to turn this into a referendum on romney, this is romney running against an incumbent president who has a record that the media ought to start talking about, that the media also wants to avoid. >> but i
