Tea Party Attacking GOP Incumbents

Tea Party is going to run candidates in GOP Senate primaries against conservative incumbents Lugar in Indiana and Hatch in Utah. They are looking for a candidate to run against Snowe in Maine. The Tea Party seems to be against what they believe to be the establishment more than they are against ideas that the GOP incumbents espouse. Rather than starting a third party, they hope to take over the GOP. This may drive the GOP too far to right to win general elections.
