Would Republicans rate the previous president as intelligent?
How about the candidates so far: Bachmann, Santorum, Romney?
Would Republicans like the intelligence of Palin?
I haven't seen any reason to believe any of them are any less intelligent than President Skippy or Crazy Joe.

i wouldn't call a degree from Oral Roberts "very impressive." To me, having religious indoctrination is worse than having no education at all. And while I'm sure Winona State is at least the 6th or 7th best college in Minnesota, you'd think we could find a candidate who at least went to a moderately challenging college.

William and Mary is by far the most prestigious degree she has, and I can't say it's "Very impressive." Tax law requires a ton of hard work, which she seems to have in spades, but for this voter that isn't enough.

why? You do realize that Oral Roberts is a University that teaches more than religion, right? Surely you're bright enough to judge that?

While I personally don't support Romney, how can anyone say he isn't intelligent?

Gingrich has a brilliant record of achievement and probably has better insight into the world of Washington than anyone else in the race.

Pawlenty doesn't blow my skirt up, but he also has had a measure of success.

Cain is clearly a brilliant businessman. He gets bonus points for speaking the truth.


Any of these people will destroy the pretender in a debate.
Heeeheeeehe!! I love it when people say things that they don't believe. Hell, Bachman can't even handle Chris Wallace. Gingrich can't beat himself in a debate. Pawlenty is invisible. If Romney is so convincing as a debater, why couldn't he beat McCain, who is a pretty sorry debater. Not to mention that Romney is the biggest flip flopper in the history of the Republican Party. Cain is the only guy who sounds like he has enough sense to serve me a hot dog.

You're dreaming. Wake up.

I'm waiting for Skippy to see how Skippy gets past his own words.

That would mean Bill Clinton (who had serious character flaws) was ill suited for president.

Fair point. I can't disagree with you there.

But hey...we'll see. Put up your guy, i'll put up mine, and we'll toast to the winner.
