Rally Right Targets ‘Liberal’ Local R’s?

A Berry Picker has provided Huckleberries Online w/a list of "liberal" Republicans apparently targetted for election defeat (legislative & at precinct level) by the new Rally Right group in the May primaries. The list (or should I say 2 lists because it includes a group of conservatives that Rally Right supports) reportedly was taken from a Rally Right meeting Monday evening. An individual who circulated this list online provides her code re: how to read it: "Their list is whom they're rooting for. Those blank spots are where the 'liberals' currently reign unopposed. I took the current list off the Kootenai County Elections web and circled in red those apparently on Rally Right's 'hit list.'" You'll notice on the second list that such long-time Repub stalwarts (and very conservative) Ruthie Johnson, Matt Roetter, Duane Rasmussen, Donna Montgomery, Betty Ann Henderson & Kerri Rankin Thoreson are circled. You can read the list for yourself (Firefox needed) here.

Question: Do you consider Ruthie, Matt, Duane, Donna, Betty & Kerri to be liberals?
