“Well, I’d hardly call them “transient.” For example, you’re talking about people involved in YAF, who tend to be the most conservative of kids; many go to schools such as Liberty, GMU, Grove City, and Hillsdale. Some of them include people like Jason Mattera, author of “Obama Zombies,” or the two that blew the whistle on ACORN.”

Sheds a different light than -

“They are all jazzed about most other conservatives, and even many who are RINOS, but for whatever reason they are not excited about Palin. My take is that she’s too close to their mother’s age. “

My opinion remains the same: College kids not loving Palin is more of an endorsement of her than anything and it’s about what I expect from that demographic. “She’s not conservative enough.” is probably not a reason often given for not loving her.

Hmm. Once again, you and many others here want to avoid the real question: why aren't they jazzed about her? Why do they seem to prefer, on average, other candidates?

"She's too conservative." Really? Why is it one of the things that attracts them to Huckabee is that they think he is more conservative as a Christian, or that he supports the "Fair Tax," while they don't know that Palin does.

This is just one example. Maybe because she endorsed McCain, and while she says she's for tight borders, a lot of questions remain about what her stance is on illegal immigrants already here. Why would you just assume that she's "too conservative" for them and "not conservative enough" in many cases?
