Do you have a political litmus test? If you do, what is it?

And if you have one or several, would it absolutely disqualify a candidate for you?

Do you mean for primaries?

Also would depend of if it was a primary or a general election.
Some things I can overlook if the candidate has reasonable positions... and they look like a winner.
For example, I don't care about marijuana. If the person was not for legalizing, I don't care as long as they
weren't going to go against states who did. Like Obama's position.

Anti-choice would be a killer in the primary.
