"Toe the line" means something like step up, or stay in line with the party. "Tow the line" could be seen as doing the work-- i.e. pulling the party forward with an insistence on promulgating its ideas.
In the last thing I published, I used the term "shoe-in," when it should have been "shoo-in."
I blame the editors for this thing which is totally my fault.
