Walker not having a college degree is going to crush him in crucial swing areas

Walker is considering completing his degree though the University of Wisconsin system's UW Flex Option. If he starts this next year, he could be done just in time for 2016.

Less than 40% of Americans even have degrees as is; this type of thing would be a non-issue to most. People who would find this an issue probably wouldn't have voted for Walker in the first place.

Shouldn't the President be an extraordinary person though?  It's a really important job, an average person should never be President. 

The question is whether the person has the qualifications and skills needed to be President.  A college degree is not necessary, you just want a person to have gained knowledge and experience some other way.

Exactly. The qualifications for president are not the same as an entry level position at in IBanking firm.

I would imagine serving as Governor of Wisconsin for six years is satisfactory experience to not disqualify him.

As to your point, I don't agree that being governor is an automatic qualification to be President.   Sarah Palin was a governor.  Scott Walker just seems like a career political hack.  Maybe he's really knowledgeable, thoughtful and intelligent.  I'm no expert on Scott Walker, but being governor of Wisconsin isn't all you need to know about his background to judge him.

Sarah Palin's problem wasn't her resume, it was that her "job interview" was a total disaster. On paper without opening her mouth, she appeared reasonably qualified. I'm not saying being a governor automatically makes one qualified to be president, but it's sufficient reason to not throw out the resume before an interview.
