and what about joe miller in alaska? he s got a tough race on his hands, particularly because the republican he beat won t go away. reporter: yeah, and their republican is lisa murkowski, the republican-backed candidate. you know, she was the incumbent senator. she is launching a write-in bid. what s unknown in alaska is if the republican party establishment, which is now by and large behind miller, can help fend off this challenge by lisa murkowski, and not siphon away votes that would allow the democrat to go in and capture that seat. but looking ahead, drew, to what s going to happen on november 3rd, you will see tea party candidates who will win on election day, and who will come here to govern. for instance, mike lee out in utah. he is all but assured re-election or election. he defeated upon bennett, who was the establishment candidate in the primary. we ll see him come here. rand pahl is in a tight race in kentucky. he could come here. we could see joe miller here.
