Support Wavering for Norquist's Anti-Tax Pledge
About a dozen newly elected Republicans refuse to sign on
Republicans might have held the House, but Grover Norquist's majority in Congress is all but gone.
Fewer incoming members of the House and Senate have signed the pledge against tax increases run by Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform, in a reflection not only of the seats that Democrats gained but of the success they've enjoyed in vilifying Norquist.
About a dozen newly elected House Republicans refused to sign the anti-tax pledge during their campaigns, and another handful of returning Republicans have disavowed their allegiance to the written commitment.
