Wow, I wake up this morning and begin to do my usual online reading and come across this headline in Slate: "Don't Judge Elena Kagan by Her College Thesis." Hmmm...isn't that EXACTLY what the Democrats tried to do to Bob McDonnell during the Virginia election for governor last Fall?
Oh, of course the author of the article backtracks and mentions we shouldn't pay attention to anyone's college thesis when they are running for office 20 or 30 years later, and he does mention the McDonnell issue, along with Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.
So, he is actually trying to get in front of the issue, since it serves his purpose in this regard. Funny how when the shoe is on the other foot we are supposed to take a different approach. Ultimately, I agree with the article. Most people act like idiots in college, myself included. It takes a much longer time for a person's political views to be shaped.
Here is the article... http://www.slate.com/id/2254100/
