Obvious: Harry Reid is really going to miss RINO Sen. Dick Lugar

When you vote out a longstanding GOP senator and Harry Reid  pays him tribute, you now you made the right choice.

Via WaPo:
The Senate’s top Democrat paid tribute to long-time Republican Sen. Richard G. Lugar (Indiana) on the Senate floor Thursday, offering the kind words in the midst of a blast at the tea party right that ousted the six-term senator in a primary Tuesday.
In his first public comments since Lugar’s loss, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nevada) said Lugar was “has always been willing to extend a hand to colleagues across the aisle.”
“His first priority has always been getting things done for the American people, whether that means keeping the world safe from nuclear war or looking out for Hoosiers back home,” Reid said.
Lugar was defeated by Indiana state treasurer Richard Mourdock, who argued that the longtime senator had proven too willing to compromise with Democrats.
Democrats now see opportunity to make the red state competitive, as their party’s candidate, Rep. Joe Donnelly (D), argues Mourdock’s election would only contribute to Washington’s painful gridlock. Concluding his tribute to Lugar, Reid — eager to maintain his majority in November — pressed that message
