Chris Rickert: College degree important, unless you want to be governor

If Scott Walker is elected ? a near certainty if you believe the polls ? he would be the first Wisconsin governor in 64 years without a college degree. And nobody seems to care. College Republicans chairman, Stephen Duerst, says none of the group?s 60 or so members have voiced a problem with Walker?s drop-out status and whether it might, for example, make him less sympathetic to increasing funding for the University of Wisconsin System.
