Brad Todd is a Republican Media Strategist and he wrote an op-ed piece that suggests the Republican Party is operating more like a two-part coalition than a political party. He makes the comparison that Republican and self-identified Tea Party politicians are similar to the coalition governments in European countries. It is an interesting analogy, and his arguments make a lot of sense. Weather or not this ends up being a good thing or a bad thing is left up to the reader to decide, but he does present a unique view of the relations between establishment Republicans and freshmen Tea Party Representatives in the House.
