I've met and/or read Republican and libertarian economists I've had respect for.  (Tyler Cowen of George Mason is one.)  Most of them are probably not supporting McCain, though.  The biggest problem is that the wackos take over a few departments.

Auburn is a big one, but you can even find some in the Ivy League.

As I've said, a few of the Auburn types polluted Florida State -- again, the intro classes were just hideous (nothing but Republican Supply-Sider propaganda) -- but the upper-level stuff was controlled by a pretty good lot.

As far as the differing schools of thought, the Berkeleys and Princetons and Columbias are much greater in number than the Auburns, thankfully.
