Sasse win in Nebraska proving the Tea Party is alive and well

No the Tea Party is not dead. Tea Party and Senate Conservative Fund backed Ben Sasse who also enjoyed the personal endorsements of Governor Sarah Palin and Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz coasted to an easy win in the Nebraska senate primary. With 12 percent of precincts reporting, the Associated Press called the race for Sasse, who led Sid Dinsdale by a wide 45 percent to 25 percent margin. Shane Osborn was third with 23 percent. Sasse will be a heavy favorite in the general election considering Nebraska's strong Republican tilt. In the previous post  I reported that Tea Party backed Alex Mooney won in West Virginia's second congressional primary.
