I was wondering if Garret Graves has a college degree. I looked at his website at couldn't tell. What is his prior experience. Something with Jindal. I am trying to figure about these candidates and these are some questions.

ETA: I am an Edwards voter but told my buddy I'd look at a Graves.

Could you tell me why? I know Edwards is charismatic, but he and his cronies stole millions of dollars from the state.

I think it stems from the lack of experience from the other candidates and their connection to Jindal. Hence the question on Graves.

Voting for a felon? You're the reason our state is so fricked up.

Seriously? Why would anyone vote for that man?

That makes zero sense.

Look at Dan Claitor. No Jindal connection besides belonging to different factions of the same party, if that's your hang up.

It shouldn't matter at all who the other candidates are.

Edwards should lose to every available person and most inanimate objects.

I can understand that sentiment. My issue with Edwards IS his experience, i.e. our experience with him has been awful. We've still never recovered from the state constitution passed by his administration. Just think of all of the infrastructure improvements that could have been made with all the money he and his friends milked via embezzlement and graft.

We know what we're getting in Edwards, a corrupt (but charming) SOB. At least with one of these other numbskulls, we might get a decent representative.

This campaign is all about 1 thing, getting a federal pension for Edwin's trophy wife and son.

I can't remember exactly what he graduated in, but he was Jindals coastal advisor for a while. Very nice guy and very "common sense".

He did tell me if I don't vote for him, to vote for Claitor. I think that says a lot about his character.

So can anyone answer the original question regarding Garret Graves? Did he graduate from college?

Does it matter? Tons of successful people didn't.

Exactly. Is the issue the OP has with Graves is that he isn't a seasoned enough criminal like the candidate he is voting for?

The fact that EWE can even legally run for any public office is insane, but that's another topic.

It shouldn't matter one iota.

Garrett is a really nice guy. I'm pretty sure he started at LSU but got into the politics stuff and didn't graduate.

I am open enough to consider other candidates.

No direct and clear answer is being presented, my assumption is that the answer to the question is no. Is this correct?

Also, are these the types of unclear answers to expect from this candidate if elected on other questions?

I really don't like dancing around something. Just say it. What the heck?

I haven't answered the question because I'm googling it, but can't find it.

This is a reasonable and direct answer. Thank you.

It's not that it matters that much, it's just another comparison point.
