By all rights the republican should have controlled the senate or years ago.
In each cycle an odd party tea party candidate ended up winning the race.
So this cycle the republican establishment was adamant they would not fall prey to these kinds of candidates and got organized early on.
A lot of backing from business groups to prop up strong established-minded candidates and allow thing -- allow them to prevail in order to have the best chance of winning the race in the fall and handing it back -- handing the senate back to the republicans.
The tea parties still in it to win it.
What are the races to watch?
There really are not a lot of close races today, which is assigned i think the establishment has done a very good job of this.
One is a congressional race and idaho where mike simpson, a former dentist is the established candidate.

Tea Party origins: Santelli
CNBC's Jeff Cox sits down with CNBC's Rick Santelli five years after his 'tea party' rant to recap that fateful day.
"McConnell made it very clear early on that he and Republicans were going to take on the tea party, and they have been very aggressive," said Stephen Voss, a political scientist at the University of Kentucky.
A crowded Senate primary field in Georgia makes a July 22 runoff likely between the top two finishers on Tuesday for the right to face off against Democrat Michelle Nunn in November.

Tea party faces uphill battle
Tea Party candidates are fighting an uphill battle in all three U.S. Senate contests, which could be vital to Republican hopes of picking up the six seats they need to recapture control of the chamber from Democrats in November.
Idaho, Arkansas and Pennsylvania also will hold primaries on the campaign's biggest day of voting so far.
The most closely watched contest is in Kentucky, where Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell is a heavy favorite to beat Tea Party challenger Matt Bevin, setting up one of November's top Senate races against Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes.
Republican Party leaders, determined to avoid the sort of divisive primaries that helped cost them winnable Senate races in 2010 and 2012, have been more proactive this year in backing mainstream candidates they think can win in November.
The effort has paid off so far with wins by establishment-backed candidates in North Carolina and Texas Senate primaries.
This year, McConnell was a top target of Tea Party groups, but polls show him with a comfortable double-digit lead. Bevin attacked McConnell's long tenure in Washington and argued he had not done enough to fight spending and President Barack Obama's agenda.
But McConnell and his allies pummeled Bevin for his inexperience, and Bevin reinforced those claims with his own campaign trail missteps, including an appearance at a rally promoting cockfighting. Bevin said he thought it was a rally in support of states' rights.
"McConnell made it very clear early on that he and Republicans were going to take on the Tea Party, and they have been very aggressive," said Stephen Voss, a political scientist at the University of Kentucky.
