for Citizen Charlie "Ziplips" Baker, GOP candidate for Governor, can he pass the RNC's "purity test" for republican aspirants for higher office?
Right now, the motion simply demands fealty to the GOP platform...Of course there are a lot of things in the platform most people don't know about, the fagbashing for example, the weird fixation on "tradition family roles" (as defined by your average "Father Knows Best" script), the giveaways to Wall Street...the List goeth on and on.
My thinking is, Charlie couldn't pass it if he tried, not an keep a hold on those precious independents he covets.
Scot Brown on the other hand is a walking talking breathing conservative litmus test in tight blue jeans...Whether or not he prospers in that role is another thing.
At the moment GOP litmus tests don't count for myuch up here in Gubernatorial politics, but in the General Election if things get tight and presumptive nominee Charlie Baker needs a quick infusion of cash, the whole matter could come back to haunt him.
