Following Tuesday's closely watched primaries, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine argued Wednesday that the actions of Tea Party activists have sent Republicans "running to the right," and made the Republican party "less and less appealing to independents and other swing voters."

Kaine pushed the idea that Democrats should take advantage of the growing fracture in the Republican Party, citing the defeat of more moderate incumbents by more radical - and some Tea Party backed - candidates in Kentucky, Utah and Florida.

"Voters ... can choose President Obama and Democrats - who are taking bold action to turn the economy around," Kaine said. "Or Republicans - whose failed economic policies drove the American economy into a ditch."
