Well of course you will use that against him. He was a MAVERICK in his younger days too and liked to shake things up and not always follow the rules. Just because he finished near the bottom does not indicate lack of intelligence. Common sense usually counts for more than high marks.

Common sense needed, not book smarts
I'm sorry but we have had too many SMART people running this country...what we need is some people with COMMON SENSE running this country. I have worked with people from lawyers, to doctors, to laborers when I waitressed and the smartest people don't have a lick of common sense. THAT is what is wrong with our government, no common sense and no real life experience. You show me 1 politician who has ever worried about their house payment or car payment or who has had $10 left in their checking acct at the end of the month-you can't because their isn't 1. They do not understand the average joe because they've never been the average joe. So how can they help us?
Common sense, street smarts and intelligence would be ideal.
Considering the choice we were given, I think we did the right thing and that we will be on the mend sooner rather than later.
