Geoff Pender: it’s not just whether you’re against Common Core, but whether you’re really against Common Core.

In an article applauding Chris McDaniel's efforts in persuading Gov Phil Bryant to veto the Common Core Bill passed last session the Clarion Ledgers Geoff Pender gave McDaniel a thumbs up:  McDaniel wins one, Bryant gets tea party groove back  

Pender summarized:

"A political operative not too long ago told me they had never seen polling numbers so strong as those against Common Core among Mississippi Republicans.
It’s being viewed as a stalking horse for the Obama Administration to take over states’ public education, and it’s already become a major issue for 2016 presidential politics.
In 2015 Mississippi Republican politics, it’s not just whether you’re against Common Core, but whether you’re really against Common Core. [Chris] McDaniel was ahead of the curve on this GOP issue."
