Really?  What you just wrote is not in agreement with what Joker said.
As for the topic of the thread, and in spite of its intellectualism bashing tone, the context of the conversation between Dean and Scarborough on MSNBC is an interesting one to consider - for somebody running for POTUS today, can the lack of a college degree be problematic among voters and their perception of the candidate's intellectual abilities, even if the candidate has proven himself to be a successful political executive at a lower level of government?
Dean seems to think its a weakness that can be exploited by an opponent; I do, too. Whether or not it actually proves to be a problem is TBD.
If anyone's interested, here's their conversation:
