Political scientist James E. Campbell was quoted in the Christian Science Monitor about the affect the tea party had on negotiations to raise the federal debt ceiling. "I think this compromise simply reflects that [government] has gone artificially too far to the left after 2006 and 2008," he said. "So this change looks all that more dramatic because it was brought back from that sort of temporarily left of center position to a further right of center position after 2010." The article also appeared in the Minnesota Post and the Alaska Dispatch.
