Doing some research and I'm wondering if anyone out there in the internet has a list of Tea Party / Tea Party backed candidates that have made advances in the GOP primaries so far?

Cheers,

Rand Paul is the only one I know.

Not exactly a list, but this showcases the relative strengths of establishment Republicans relative to Tea Party Republicans against Democratic candidates in November:

I've come up with two others:

Rand Paul has won GOP nomination as a Senatorial candidate in Kentucky; Sharron Angle has won the GOP nomination as a Senatorial candidate in Nevada; and Raul Labrador has won the GOP nomination as a House Representative candidate in Idaho.

Additionally, in Utah an incumbent Rep. Senator was ousted in party primaries by TP backed Mike Lee and another candidate.

I sent a Washington Post writer the same question... needless to say he's not replied yet ;)
