Political Checklist: Indiana Gets Interesting

In this week's Political Checklist, Political Editor Christina Bellantoni chatted with senior correspondents Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff about election fallout following Indiana's GOP Senate primary.

What does it mean for bipartisanship now that Sen. Richard Lugar was ousted by a Tea Party Republican who vows he won't compromise? And could the Democrats win in Indiana?

The team also discussed the continuing battle to win over female voters, especially the critical swing bloc of married women.
