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. I’m not saying they in particular do or don’t like Palin, I’m just saying this is the level of college students that I routinely interact with, and their experiences can hardly be blown off as having “transient definitions” of conservatism. Most of them, while not as articulate as someone like Rush, have pretty well developed concepts of conservatism.

“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.
