In this March 13, 2014 photo Nebraska Republican Senate candidate Shane Osborn, a Navy veteran best known as the pilot of an American spy plane forced down by the Chinese military in 2001 and its crew held for 12 days, heads to a campaign stop in Fairbury, Neb. Nebraska, home of nice-guy politics, 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 and his allies are quietly backing Osborn and steering the majority leader’s donors his way. Tea party groups are endorsing his opponent, Ben Sasse. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
