He's got the class and dedication you'd look for, but what experience and education does he have for it?  I'm sorry, but practicing shooting for 5 hours a day doesn't cut it for experience with me.

Having grown up in CT with a lot of friends who went to UCONN (like Ray did), the recent news that Kemba Walker is graduating and FINALLY read his first book at UCONN doesn't give me much confidence in their education either. 

But if Ray could surround himself with other honest people who know their respective specialties, it might work!

I see him as less charismatic than a tree.

He's too smart for politics.

Shooting 5 hours a day obviously would beat the daylights out of community organizing.

Way to impugn the integrity of an institution over a miscommunicated statement.  Are you saying your friends never read a book either?  No one at UConn ever has?

FWIW, Walker has since clarified that statement saying all he meant was that it was the first time he loved a book so much that he just sat down and read it cover to cover.

By the way, Academic All-Americans Emeka Okafor and Maya Moore say hi.

Also, Kemba is graduating in three years.  I like to consider myself fairly smart and it still took me four.

Plus, if he "goes cold" for 2 or 3 debates in a row, he'd be screwed.
Back to wanting Joe fired.
