I didn't doubt SNL, The Daily Show, Stephen Colbert, etc. could have influence some people, but I'm saddened by how lazy and uneducated people have let themselves become. Especially when information is so easily available.



I agree with this statement. I'd care less if she was applying to be my cubicle mate, etc. Running for Veep or president, yep, I want someone who's hit a few less schools. If you can find a previous candidate for VP or president who attended that many colleges (for undergrad), I'd like to know.

Maybe I'm missing something. What do you all think that attending four colleges says that lackluster performance at one mediocre college doesn't?

Or is it that you basically feel that you feel that an elite education is needed to be a good VP?

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.
