Tea Party Favorites Win in Nevada and South Carolina
----------------------------------------------------



Also in South Carolina, Nikki Haley will face Gresham Barrett in a
runoff election in two weeks for the Republican nomination to succeed
Gov. Mark Sanford. Haley had received the backing of Sarah Palin and the
Tea Party. In Nevada, another Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle won the
Republican Senate nomination and will face Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid in the fall. Angle has called for phasing out Social Security for
younger workers and the elimination of the Department of Education.
