Or maybe that you feel like educational experience is a good proxy for intelligence? I think it's much more likely to be a proxy for your parents' social class, assuming that you went to a lame college or four.
No, I'm don't think an elite education is necessary to be a VP or President. I just think it'd be nice to finish one thing when you start it. Like your term as govenor, unless something is preventing you from doing so. I realize that she eventually got her undergrad degree. We've had presidents and VPs that didn't attend Ivy league/elite schools. I didn't attend one either. I went to a lame state school.

A few years ago, I had to defend my five year old transcript in order to move into a management level job. I'm not sure at what age you get to escape your past. I know people five to 10 years older who've done the same thing with my company.
