It seems that the Tea Party is down at least one of its members from the reddest of the red states.
Republican Bradley Byrne defeated his insurgent conservative opponent
in an Alabama House race Tuesday, notching a hard-fought victory for
the business wing of the GOP.
With more than 90 percent of votes tallied, the Associated Press
called the race for Byrne over Dean Young, a Christian conservative
aligned with the tea party. Byrne led Young 53 percent to 47 percent.
I hope this emboldens the Chamber of Commerce and other business aligned groups to start throwing money at moderates. I mean the Tea Party is actively against their pro-growth agenda so they might as well start backing candidates that won't torpedo the world market.
