#1 I don't think Michael Dell ever graduated from Texas. But 95%of successful individuals have at least at Bachelors degree. Excluding musicians and professional athletes.

#3 Considering the quality of minds coming out of Harvard I call it a feature.

Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma.

#4 If the Dems are really clueless and snobby enough to push this meme I say let them have at it.

#5 entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.

#7 Steve Jobs did well in a Caligraphy class at Reed college but only lasted 6 months.

#8 The elitist left can't help themselves. Look at how they sneered down their nose at Palin. That whole SNL run was one long sneer at her supposed stupidity and ignorance. They will try the same with Scott.

#12 It would be better if he had a degree. That said, he's been proven on the field. If this were his first term something like this would leave the door open for the Left's media machine to 'define' him. Recall that Palin was in his first term as governor. Now that Walker has been in office for 6 years his record will define him, not the lack of a degree.

#13 That's what you call a feature, not a bug.

#14 On March 11 2014, Hillary Clinton gave a speech. One member of the media asked her what she thought were the major accomplishments of her tenure as Secretary of State.

She answered;
My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked. My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know. The remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn't do that. Very proud. I would say that's a major accomplishment.

And BTW, she was the First First-Lady to have a post-graduate degree.

#17 I just had an idea for 28th amendment:
No person having a college degree is eligible for POTUS.
