Who cares how many colleges? What differece does that make? I have known a lot of people who went to more than one college before graduating, including my sister, who became a teacher (now retired).
They became bartenders not Presidents.

The tea parties never really had much steam...The first protests were pathetic and the 4th protests were nearly nonexistent.

No, the state legislature is made up of republicans and democrats. There is a democrat majority in the state legislature, but Arnold has the power to veto and/or line-item veto anything the legislature sends to his desk. It's possible that the legislature could override a veto, but they have never overturned a veto from Arnold, and even if they had that does not mean that democrats "run" the state.

Here's a photo from the Tea Party, granted, a pretty good turnout:


Now, here's a photo of Harvard Stadium, which holds almost 7,000 LESS than the number of people that supposedly attended the Dallas Tea Party:

If you can provide a photo that shows a Tea Party crowd that could even come close to filling that stadium I'd love to see it.
