Click for the answer
Chicago. Vanderbilt has 4, Michigan 3, Harvard and Yale 2, Duke, Penn, and Texas 1. Chicago has none. That does not mean, of course, that no one on the faculty prefers McCain to Obama. But it is striking that Chicago, once known as easily the most conservative of the elite law schools, doesn’t have a single professor willing to publicly associate himself with the McCain campaign.
