Santorum Down, Toomey Up
Lost in the election haze is some good news for
tax-cutters: the Club for Growth
had a decent night. Club candidates Bill Sali, Tim Walberg, Jim
Jordan, Doug Lamborn, Michelle Bachmann and Adrian Smith all won
their races, albeit narrowly, representing a healthy rightward
shift in the shrunken GOP caucus. (Although Sali makes a lousy
replacement for Gov.-elect Butch Otter.) The races the club lost -
open swing seats, attempts to take over Democratic Senate seats -
were never going to be won anyway. And the Republicans' expensive
rearguard effort to defend Lincoln Chafee from a Club challenge
looks like a major-league oops right now.
Here's hoping the Club's congressmen remember who brought them to the dance on leadership election day.
