Scott Walker’s lack of a college degree: A non-issue that Democrats should avoid

The more I see what the left is saying and trying to do about him, the more I'm warming up to him as a candidate.

He has enemies that deserve to have him in the white house......and would be fun to watch in the process.......

Sheila Jackson Lee has a degree from Yale

Good grief, is that really true?

Let me say first of all: I know a lot of people who never spent one hour in College and are smarter than a lot of people with a degree who are, simply put, “educated idiots”. Now......

I like Scott Walker. But, as a teacher, I tell my kids: “Finish school; get your diploma because if one guy applies for a job who finished his H.S. education and you come in with a G.E.D., the HR person will choose the one who stuck in there and got his education, over the guy who dropped out of the race close to the Finish Line.” It says something for a person who disciplines himself/herself to finish a task, they started, that can be helpful to them for the rest of their life.

The media will ride this like they did Sarah Palin resigning, and not finishing, her term as Governor. Having said all of that, I think this issue will have minimal damage on a Walker run for the White House.
