These guys are “conservative” in the broader sense and do not want to have a woman as president. A large part of the conservatice movement is that way. That is why it has been so hard to elect Republican Negroes. Too many of our guys just won’t vote for them.We would have had more of them in the recent election if that reluctance were not there. I have my own apprehensions about putting a woman in the top spot, but that is a generic ambivalence that derives from the different foci of women and men re security vs liberty. But Palin does not seem to share that feminine trait and she is the closest thing we have to anything like Reagan right now. I see no sensible alternative to her at all. I do wish some potential candidate would demonstrate a basic knowledge of real Econ 101, though. Any woman who demonstrates that she understands Adam Smith or Ludwig von Mises is far superior to any man who is fuzzy on economics or thinks he is a Monetarist or “conservative” Keynesian. Get the Econ nailed down then bore in on social values. All the social conservatism in the world is to no avail if one doesn’t understand the economics.
A great majority of conservative intellectuals are Keynesian or Monotarist, who belives in central planning. Not many Austrians Economists
