“I suspect a lot of the Harvard “conservatives” (as if that even makes sense) were supporting Obama for this position simply because such support for him shields them from that sort of criticism, but they will not say so because it’s embarrassing. Also I can believe he was good at not appearing as radical as the various left wing nuts who make the Universities their habitats, but in fact he was likely even more radical.”
Not sure if you noticed but they're mostly old. They are more or less from the William F. Buckley succeeding Generation when Harvard wasn't quite so douchey.
I suppose there might be some actual conservatives that went to Harvard in Obama's day, but I would expect them to be greatly outnumbered by the Liberals.
