I have die-hard conservative friends living near Rochester. Several days ago, at a condo meeting, the subject turned to Hillary. Quite a few Republicans in the group planned to vote for Hillary for President.
Their logic? Quite a few women wanted a woman in the WH...period. Doesn't matter which woman, but they overruled Condi because she doesn't have experience in anything but foreign policy - and she's not a lawyer so she can't understand all the issues. (Who knew Republican women could be so stupid!!). They also felt Hillary had been 'picked on' for 10 years, and that was so unfair.
The men were divided. Two thought she would be an excellent choice because her every move would be put under a microscope and there would be 'sunshine' for the first time ever in the WH. The other Several thought OTHER men hated Hillary because she was a strong woman, and they are impressed with her great intellect.
I asked what the Democrats had to say. You ready? 'I wouldn't vote for her if she was the last woman on earth'. LOL.

That is the most insane thinking from "conservatives" I have heard and the most sane from Dems.

That is a very interesting story. We cannot underestimate the power of political correctness and social coercion. People will not want to say that they are against Hillary, because to do so is chauvinist (sp?), bigoted, narrow-minded, etc.

I think you perhaps need to look at updating your definition of a "die-hard conservative."
