Next stop, mandatory reading of Going Rogue? Talking Points Memo reports that the Republican National Committee is considering a purity test for political candidates. The “Proposed RNC Resolution on Reagan’s Unity Principle for Support of Candidates” lays out 10 issues and, if adopted, would cut off party support and money from candidates who disagree with three or more of them.
