I'd say forget politics and hire whoever you think is the most qualified, but that's just me.

Just casually ask him what he thinks of "health care" in America. His answer should tell you what you need to know, IMHO.

If faith is important and you are Christian, I recommend that you advertise in Christian magazines such as Christianity Today and World.

In the middle of the questioning, ask whether he follows politics...if he dives left, politely agree with him, it is fascinating to see how they all think that everyone agrees with them and file the information for your decision making.

For me I like to get a man to drink well past his limit, that's when I find out who he really is, not just what he thinks he believes.

Any ideas on interviewing strategies to avoid hiring a whiny liberal? Just ask them how good they think GWB is doing as POS!

Just pass along a story during the job interview about how you are still feeling bad about that cat you ran over in your SUV on your way to Church last Sunday.
The reaction you get should be all you need to know.

Get out of Massachusetts, your senators are going to ruin you. I moved to Hartford, CT area with my new husband. Maybe one day we'll get out of NE.

No way, liberals are usually not ethical in anything they do.And what about the big issue of abortion? God can not bless a practice that could condone that?
To: doctora
Ask a lot of questions and just kind of mine it for what is most likely compatible with you. Make sure you don't give any indication of how you think they should answer the questions.

Ask them if they were president how they would improve the health care of this country. You might want to mask it a little bit better than that, but it is an appropriate question.
To: doctora
Personally, and I mean no offense, but I think you're embarking on a lame-brained scheme that isn't likely to net you a better associate. It would be best to first narrow down the candidates by merit, and then trust your gut instinct on who you get along with.

Mention you have friends/relatives serving in Iraq and watch the reaction.
I've done it and I have had a negative or Oh poor him! reaction so many times from liberals.
Instead of 'Good for him' or 'You must be proud of him'.
To: darkangel82
It would be nice to forget politics and have professionalism trump the day... but that's not what usually happens. And in MA? ha.

I agree with darkangel in that if you hire someone who is competant and a good fit for your office, it won't matter what their politics are.
If you want a qualified, mature, professional person then that's what you interview for.
If the previous person "interviewed great" but turned out bad, then what you thought was "great" was perhaps not really important.
So examine that failed interview and see where it went wrong and what you misjudged. That will probably tell you more about what you should change about your interview process than anything we say here.
I would also guess that a bit of Googling can help regarding the interview process and how to hire dependable people that you can work with.
Also maybe it's just me but I think dinner with family/husband should only be the very last portion of hiring decision, if at all.

Seems to me that there are several possible strategies. One that we use (governmental agency) during the interview is to ask directly if they can leave politics and religion at home at all times for any reason, specially with clients.
The other big one is to have a universal policy for all positions of three months to six months probation (depending on the position).
This means non acceptance without explanation.
Many people interview well and dress well for the interview and their normal personna emerges only after some time.
Lacking knowing someone at their previous employment (if any) there is no way to know how they interact with subordinates and people generally.
Having written policies and making employees acknowlege reading and understanding them is also important. Keep it as simple and short as possible, and limit them to issues that are known to be potential problems.

I agree.
I think alcohol makes people reveal their TRUE personalities, thoughts, etc.
