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.

Senator Corker’s Gang Affiliation

The Jackson Sun praises Bob Corker for his membership in a bipartisan group of Senators focused on energy issues:

If the “Gang of 10″ can succeed, this could be the basis for the energy policy America so desperately needs. It is past time for the nation to take full control of its energy needs, energy resources and energy production, and move away from its dependency on foreign oil and the international political turmoil that controls it.
