Roberts Wins in Kansas

Sen. Pat Roberts’ (R-KS) victory over Milton Wolf (R) in Tuesday’s Republican primary “was part of a mainstream conservatives blow to the tea party movement, which also lost a a first-term Michigan congressman to a more moderate GOP businessman,” the Topeka Capital Journal reports.

“The Senate’s establishment is on a roll, with incumbents also prevailing in Texas, Kentucky, South Carolina and Mississippi, though it took six-term Sen. Thad Cochran two tries before defeating Chris McDaniel, who is challenging the outcome.”
