Today, in Tennessee, the tea party has its last-best
chance to beat an incumbent senator in a race that’s a marquee match-up
with the GOP establishment. After millions of dollars, the tea party
failed to topple incumbent senators in Kentucky, South Carolina,
Mississippi, and most recently earlier this week in Kansas. If
Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander beats back his tea party challenger
state Rep. Joe Carr, this will be the first cycle since 2008 when no
incumbent GOP Senator has lost a re-nomination fight.
