American Idol President - Update

You'd Better Be Ivy League If You Want To Be President

Tying in a bit with an earlier post on the strength of university networking vs. former places of employment networking, we take a look at past U.S. Presidents and current hopefuls.  The winners of the last 5 Presidential elections, going back to 1988, all have Ivy League educations, be it undergrad, law/graduate, or both.  Harvard and Yale are the players here.  Among the early primary favorites for both parties, the advantage would go to Hillary (Yale Law), Romney and Obama (both Harvard men).  And no breaking news here, but if Romney were to be elected to the Oval Office, he would become the second Presidential holder of an MBA (though he also holds a Law degree and therefore would not be the rare non-lawyer President; the current Bush was the 1st President to hold an MBA).  Hillary and Obama each hold degrees in Law.
