But why is it surprising that people would want somebody new after 6 terms. Hopefully, Donnelly will be able to beat Mourdoch.

Now, given who is after Lugar at the SFRC (aside from politeness toward somebody he has to work with for 6 more months), I understand why Kerry worries, but this result does not surprise me. At 80, it is time to retire.
