From left, Republican Senate candidates Luke Messer, Todd Rokita and Mike Braun at a debate Monday in Indianapolis. Not even Republicans will deny their primary went down in the gutter, fast, and as a result has become extremely unpredictable. Republicans argue that Indiana is conservative enough to get over the drama the GOP candidates have inflicted on themselves. Nearly every statewide elected official in Indiana is Republican, and the vice president of the United States is from Indiana. But there's no denying that no matter which Republican wins Tuesday, Republicans made this race much more competitive — for themselves.
