How Do You Tell If A Candidate Is Conservative?

Erick Erickson says you need to look at the consultants:

Over the last four election cycles, there have been many hotly contested Republican primary contests for the House, Senate, and Governorships. Most of these have been personality-driven contests for open seats, rather than ideological battles for the soul of the party. However, there have been a number of primaries which were contested mainly on ideological grounds – between a liberal or moderate candidate and one or more conservatives.

On that basis, Erickson says Senator Bob Corker’s crew in ‘06 should have raised flags.
