I wasn't aware of McCain's poor performance in the academy. I believe that the Republican party has purposefully selected inappropriate candidates as they do not want to be leading the country for the next for years or eight. Can't really blame them. MP

If that were only true we wouldn't have been so screwed by Paulson, Cox, Bernanke, Greenspan and the rest of the crooks in DC.

Morality is more important than intelligence, IMO.

Not that I see much in any candidate for president though.

Great criterion. But you left out:

George W. Bush
Yale University - B.A. History
Harvard University - MBA

whooops - another system gets deep-6'd.

More Ivy League lawyers....just what we need.

p.s. Trivia question: Where'd Abraham Lincoln graduate from?

answer: did not attend college. (probably couldn't get into Harvard, let alone afford it, the dog)

I want one riding along with an IQ greater than his age

Intelligence has always been one of my major criteria when voting since it has been my life experience that smart people make good decisions and the not-so-smart make poor decisions.
========================================
Perhaps then, you can explain the current WS meltdown....how BSC, MER, LEH failed, even with their legions of quants, MBA's, PhD's, etc.? Perhaps you can explain how the Best and Brightest helped JFK and LBJ do so poorly in Vietnam?
=======================================
Perhaps you can explain how Aubrey lost so much?

=======================================
Or, perhaps you should revise your assumption?

So, smart folks......can you provide answers?
