RICHARD LUGAR – 1996 Republican primary
Two decades after being elected to the U.S. Senate from Indiana, Lugar entered a crowded Republican primary field in 1996. He finished fifth. He continued work in the Senate, focusing on foreign affairs. Last fall, Indiana Democrats were apparently so impressed with Lugar that they didn’t put up a candidate; Lugar won re-election with 87 percent of the vote. (Photo by MICHAEL MOORE of The Sentinel)
