what does a college degree bring to the table? You may not like Rush and Earnhardt as examples, but neither would have reached the pinnacle of their respective professions without an incredible amount of drive and ability. Things that a college degree doesn't necessarily confer on somebody. I know people with masters degrees who are driving trucks.

I can point to at least 400 idiots in Washington DC that do have degrees, most of them law degrees.

This is a pathetic argument. I'm quite sure a college degree is not going to be helpful in being a race car driver or a radio talk show host. However, jobs in the Executive branch of the state or country are 1) much more important as they directly affect people. 2.) require much more knowledge than it takes to operate a radio show or drive a race car.

I'm saying that a person with only a high school diploma has no business being in that type of office. How many Presidents didn't go to college? Would you actually vote for one that didn't?

I'd vote for a trained monkey over the incompetent goof currently occupying the White House.

I was planning to vote for Ramsey anyway but I'm curious, what other source than City do you have to corroborate the story in claiming everything they say is true?

I've read enough city to know they will lie like the devil, just like any other liberal mouthpiece, especially the NY Slimes.

If you're Wamp, don't you complete an online degree or something? This is something that is going to kill him the higher up he tries to run.

You place far too much value on a degree.

what type of executive experience does a college degree confer? Does a phD in medieval German architecture somehow gift a potential politician with leadership or executive experience? How about an associates degree in medical transcription?

I'd rather have someone who'd spent 20 or 30 years in the military as President than anybody with Obama's alleged academic pedigree.

Wow, this college degree thing has really incited a passionate reponse. It's hard to comment on that, because sometimes a degree means something, and sometimes it does not. I graduated from UT with degrees in Broadcasting and Political Science, and it's proven almost daily that I can be an idiot.
I had heard that Wamp supported federal funding for the cash for clunkers, and that Haslam was against guns in bars. Other than that, I really don't know a lot about their stance on the issues. I've heard folks bashing Haslam, but never really been given a reason why. Calling him Corker 2.0 doesn't mean anything. Why do you think that?

I could care less if he has a degree or not. I am not going to vote for or against a candiate due to him/her having or not having a degree. Barry has a degree and I would not vote for him for dog catcher.

If Wamp supported cash for clunkers I will no longer even consider him.

It's not like he can't get on the internet and be a kilobyte and have a degree in a few years.

Most of you want Wamp who is corrupt over Haslam because who is honest.

I'll take your Haslam sign in my yard anyday.

I agree a college degree would be nice but I think it's more about the individual and his drive,ethics,etc.Remember a lot of college educated people work for uneducated people. Bill Gates doesn't have a degree.Former Tennessee governor Ned McWhorter, I'm not sure he finished high school.

I hate that example. What degree was Gates ever going to get that would have helped in his creating M$? It wasn't like he could go get a Windows cert and go from there.

And what % of Fortune 500 CEO's do you think have a college degree? They're leading companies with bigger budgets than many states and they felt it necessary. The people with a degree in Hark Knocks are more likely to be a failure than a billionaire
