It's a little early to be picking a horse in the 2016 Presidential Race, but some comments need to be addressed as they arise. Howard Dean, the failed Democratic Presidential candidate, says the Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker isn't qualified to be President.

Putting aside Walker's qualifications, which I feel are impressive, why would anyone listen to Howard Dean? And, as to his assertion that without an Ivy League education, you are not ready to be president, I say "what a load of nonsense". I would go so far as to say, I'd prefer some common sense, intestinal fortitude, and a track record as Governor to any college degree. The implication of Dean's remarks are elitist and demeaning. He should be ashamed. Lois Virgo
