Plenty won’t see through this, the way that the MSM will present and slant the case to the public.

I've got two degrees and I'd vote for Walker before any Dummycrat.

The trait of rendering sound decisions based on sound reasoning does not require a college degree. There are among us highly educated fools.

Guess the media forgot Al Gore flunked out of seminary school, and dropped out of law school.

So far there are only three real options

Gov Scott Walker
Sen Ted Cruz
Gov Sarah Palin.

I don't understand why Walker is up there with Cruz and Palin...He seems more like a GOPe to me than anything else...

Some of the dumbest people I have ever met were college professors and some of the brightest were HS dropouts.

His problem is he is not Marxist enough for the media.

Pray America is waking

Agreed.

I've numerous friends and relatives...that have BA's, MA's..and know nothing. And can't find jobs.

I know M.D's and D.O's that can't think critically.

....This being a democratic republic,it is dangerous in and of itself for our elites to condemn as unsuitable for office those they consider to be “less educated” than themselves.

College degrees and education are not synonymous. There is ample evidence that Walker is far more educated than Dean, for instance.

40% of people who start college do not finish.

I would hazard a guess that at least 50% of Democrats don’t hold a 4-year degree.

The Democrats are heading in a stupidardly direction.

Yes, and he earned those 18 credits at three different schools over 4 years, so he knows all about working hard, lol.

My father was one of the smartest man I ever known. His ability to assess a situation and provide solutions were uncanny. He always used to say if you are and idiot and get an education, it does not change the fact you are an idiot you just becomes an educated idiot - we have seen a lot of them including Dean. By the way my Dad did not have a college degree

The difference between Walker and virtually everyone on that list—and the one problem I have with Walker—is that nearly everyone on that list had an extremely successful private sector career. Walker has virtually no private sector experience. He’s a career politician, and has been from day one. That’s why, though I like a lot of what he has to say, I have serious reservations about supporting him for the Presidency.

Interesting that the media suddenly cares about school records. Let’s see Barry’s.

It’s the price of admission and consideration for many jobs.

Yes, I never understood who decided that entry into the job market was going to be done with rules that mimic the AKC (American Kennel Club). If you don't have the proper papers, you can't enter the ring.
