Scott Walker's college problem

[SPC]

Is there some valuable course he missed out on by leaving a year early to get a good job?

Imagine if Obama or Hillary dropped out of college. Likely, none of us would even know who they were in the first place.

A white Republican man like Scott Walker can "get away" with that, because reasons. Even Sarah Palin (eventually) finished her Bachelor's.

Why do we not know Obama's GPA when Walker's 2.59 is common knowledge?

Can we add Rand Paul to the list of those who are going to have a "college problem"?

3 years and out seems to make a good presidential candidate. Maybe I should make this my last semester.

Obviously the graduate degree helps his case some, but I don't remember this coming up in 2010 as the article mentions. So long as nothing comes up like he presented himself as have a Bachelor's to get into Duke, he will be fine

Is this seriously a controversy that Paul failed to get a bachelor's degree on account of getting into a reputable medical school without one? Criticizing Paul on this account is even more ridiculous than criticizing Walker.

This is nonsense. Walker didn't graduate so it helps to know part of the reason why. You also tend to hear about it when it is lower like the case of Perry.

Is this not a bit tautological? How do we know that other candidates do not have lower GPAs as well if they are not reported?

If Walker and Paul are fair game for dropping out to join successful professions, then surely Obama's undergraduate record would be fair game as well regardless of his postgraduate career?

In addition, Obama transferred into Columbia and only spent two years there. I don't know how representative GPA would be. It's almost assured to be high though. Especially considering he continued into Harvard Law where he got magna cum laude. I haven't researched, but his graduate GPA is likely 3.75+. That's enough reason not to even bother.

Also, Ivy League!

Not to mention Editor of the Harvard Law Review (a BIG fing deal). For af. Am to do so.

In short, SPC: You're not helping.

And why do we have the double standard where extracurricular accomplishments serve as a marker for academic achievement for Obama but not for Walker?
