“It is her record that matters.”
I thinks she’s doing whatever the freeking GOP tells her to do...she just endorsed ANOTHER Rhino, Rob Portman, Ohio. Either people have completely misunderstood who she was all along or she’s totally a ‘sell out’.
I think she is just not a Conservative, according to her record. she is a populist who leans a smidge toward libertarianism (as most western types do). Fairly typical Baker moderate, just like Bush, McCain, Thompson and etc... The hyphenated "conservatives".
An interesting study is to compare the little ACU "political tendency" maps for McCain, Palin, KBH, and Romney (as examples), with a known Conservative template, like Hunter or DeMint (and etc).
The evidence is plain, and won't be all that surprising.
