Scott Walker seems boring and mediocre to me

Unions hate him. That's pretty much his entire appeal.

But unions also hate Christie and Christie is actually charismatic.

Which is why Chris Christie is infinitely more electable than Scott Walker.

hey, screw you, some of us were history majors who realized we had to go to law school

Haha, definitely not hating on those folks - some of them are my closest friends.  I'm simply pointing out that maybe that is a more reasonable explanation for voters getting more Republican as their education increases but then sharply turning Democratic after a master's is thrown in.

That's simply not true.

According to (I'm guessing) the same exit polls you cited, white college grads voted 57-41 for the GOP, but whites without a college degree voted 64-34 for the GOP. The relationship is reversed for non-whites.

Additionally, when asked "Are you a college graduate?" the GOP led those who responded "Yes" 50-47, but led by an even larger 53-45 among those who said "No."

Furthermore, those who indicated that they attended college and those who didn't voted at the same rate (52-46) in favor of the GOP.

But, I commend you for leaving out details that don't support your argument.

Eh, you aren't wrong. Walker's problem to me is he is too generic and doesn't have an interesting story or much charisma.

He didn't finish college, that is certainly "interesting".

And with this being said, I fail to understand how "Bachelor's degree" as a requirement for the Presidency is elitist.

Teachers have to have a bachelor's. Social workers have to have a bachelor's. Hell, most chain restaurant managers have at least some sort of college degree. Is it too much to ask the guy with exclusive access to the Doomsday Button to have cleared that hurdle?
