That is to say that many of the moderate/conservative profs surely are libertarians, or libertarian-leaning Republicans. That wing of the Republican party is basically in hibernation; Bush gave up on their votes and replaced them with blue-collar culturally conservative Dems. I just know a lot of Republican lawyers who vote, even contribute, Democrat, because their home is in the wing of the Republican party that’s too small to get Giuliani the ’08 nomination.
