The Establishment Holds Fire in the GOP Civil War - NationalJournal.com

The Establishment Holds Fire in the GOP Civil War - NationalJournal.com: "Remember when the Republican establishment declared war on the tea party?

One year ago, the Crossroads super PAC founded by Karl Rove launched a new group to defend incumbents from volatile, too-conservative challengers who might scuttle the party's takeover of the Senate in 2014. The empire-strikes-back counteroffensive gained allies like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and gridlock-weary Republicans in Congress after tea-party members shut down the government in October.

But so far, what was billed as an ugly and expensive all-out civil war within the GOP looks more like a few scattered skirmishes unlikely to declare a clear victor."
