4. Morrison is a very conservative Democrat, almost a Democratic tea-partier

He likely siphoned votes away from Lincoln in this primary, but it's not clear if they'll support her in a run-off or stay home.

5. "Conservative Democrat for Senate".....
...apparently running on such Democratic planks as:

* Lower taxes and stop wasteful government spending
* For the Fair Tax. Abolish the IRS.
* Improve our current health care system. OBAMACARE will result in health care rationing, long lines, and reduced care.
* Prompt tort reform so that consumers are no longer paying for multi-million dollar settlements
* Support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America
* Fight liberal efforts to take our right to keep and bear arms
* Respect for life at all stages, including unborn children
* Secure our borders—we must know who and what enters the United States
* Respect and support the men and women in the United States Armed Services
* Develop all sources of energy, including oil, natural gas, coal, solar, wind, biodiesel, and ethanol
* Term limits of 12 years for members of the U.S. Congress
* Balance the federal budget—we can’t leave our children with a $15 trillion debt
