Obama praises GOP Sen. Lugar

Evidently part of the campaign in Indiana for the Democratic Presidential Primary win strategy for the Barack Obama campaign is to praise Republicans:
Seeking his own tie to state politics, the Democrat pointed to Richard Lugar, a Republican icon in Indiana, as "one of the finest senators that we have."

"I want Republicans involved in this movement for change," said Obama. "I want to bring together Republicans and Democrats. I just don't like a certain kind of Republicanism that George Bush and Karl Rove, that they've been peddling over the last seven and half years."

No word on what Senator Lugar's response is except to know that Lugar has not endorsed presumptive GOP nominee John McCain but has said he will support the Republican nominee this fall.
