educational background: compare romney and huckabee

mitt:

BA with Highest Honors from Brigham Young University (1971) (he completed one year of his undergraduate education at stanford university)
MBA from Harvard Business School (1975), where he was named a Baker Scholar
JD, cum laude, from Harvard Law School

huck:

BA in Biblical Studies, graduating magna cum laude from Ouachita Baptist University

huck also attended southwestern baptist theological seminary, but doesn’t have a degree to show for it.

your choice, america. do you want a guy in charge of your country whose degree in the bible couldn’t even keep him from dropping out of seminary? or do you want a president who finished at the top of his class in the most competitive schools in the nation, excelling in challenging and practical courses in law and business?

so you’re saying Romney is a brain-washed elitist from a liberal east-coast university?

thanks for the great comment as usual!

well done trav, but there is construction of bulldog drive now so your directions are flawed.

i think the educational background difference is astounding. intellectually, huckabee has no chance going against obama and clinton. i will have serious concerns about the republican electorate if he is chosen for 2008.

December 27th, 2007 at 10:30 am

john f.

Travis, I actually think this is a really important point. The difference couldn’t be more striking. Romney’s education qualifies him much more substantially for successfully fulfilling an executive role than Huckabee’s.

Jason

Let’s see, George W. has a BA from Yale and MBA from Harvard. Do you really think that’s been perceived as a big advantage for him throughout his tenure?

December 31st, 2007 at 9:22 pm

travis

so what you’re saying is W’s prestigious degrees do not hide his stupidity. i get it. i think you’re right in many respects. lately W has acted less like an ivy league graduate and more like someone with huck’s educational credentials.

rachel

well i think mike huckabee is really smart!
