Elephant In Exile

Roll Call is reporting that as ultra-conservative groups like the Club for Growth continue to hammer away at republican moderates, moderate groups such as the Republican Main Street Coalition are fighting back. That’s good news. Republican’s are increasingly moving away from the mandates that got them elected. One need only to look at the Elephant’s rants to understand that. When McCain questions the continuing orgy of spending and has his patriotism called into question, you know things are getting off track. In 2000 the Republican Main Street Coalition’s PAC supported only one candidate. This cycle they have a war chest of $1.6 million supporting 21 moderate Republican candidates. Hooray!
