GOP leaders worried about "tone" of DeMint's Waterloo comment

“Every senator is entitled to his own view, but that’s not the view of our caucus,” said Alexander, who, as the Senate Republican Conference chairman, is the Senate GOP’s message man. “I prefer what Sen. [Mitch] McConnell said. This is not about winning or losing; this is about getting health care right. That’s certainly my view.”…

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said his fellow South Carolinian is “passionate about health care” and has “solutions of his own.”

“But I don’t think most Republicans are trying to beat President Obama as much as we’re trying to stop a power grab that’s really coming from the Congress more than him.”
