In this March 12, 2014 photo Nebraska Republican Senate candidate Ben Sasse laughs on the campaign trail in Elmwood, Neb. Nebraska is a new front in the bitter national struggle inside the Republican Party between established leaders determined to maintain control and right-wing insurgents trying to change the party’s direction. Party powerbrokers including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are quietly backing Shane Osborn, Sasse's opponent, and steering donors his way. Sasse has received more than twice as much as Osborn from a group trying to unseat McConnell, plus support from some prominent tea-party figures. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
