Jerrymandering has a huge connection here... i.e. redistricting of house districts has created districts full of people from one party, so the "real election" is the primary, and the hard-line small number of extreme people can decide who is nominated.
The oddball problem here is that when a hard-liner from the house is nominated for the senate, he's used to living in this echo-chamber of same-thinking people, as his old district is almost all one-party, but when he's running for senate, he has to be elected by the whole state.... he slips up and says something that otherwise would never get him in trouble before... ooops!
