"Koch brothers starting to panic that Republicans may not _tow_ their line."

"Already in the Eggcorn DB." Yes, I know. However, in this case, it seems
to me that, if there were no pre-existing, established idiom, "tow the
line" in the tug-of-war sense might be regarded as a nice turn of phrase.
Or not.

Youneverknow.
