but they excelled at Academics while there (which should be a requirement).

I wouldn't make it a requirement. College is overrated. Demonstrated intelligence and ACCOMPLISHMENT goes a long way in my book. Good college is nice, but not a deal breaker.

I completely agree. A good college or a great college shouldn't be the entrance exam to the Presidency. I would also agree that what you've accomplished and experienced since your college graduation are much, much more important and indicative of what kind of leader you'd be.

I would like a Presidential candidate who demonstrates continual and unrelenting intellectual curiosity. In the final analysis, that's not Sarah Palin.
