Wow...for once I see a presidential candidate that DIDN'T go to Yale or Harvard...

<p>None of the top Presidential contenders this year went to Harvard or Yale for undergrad. The only one who did is Alan Keyes, who is a rather marginal candidate. </p>
<p>{Granted, Romney did get his MBA and JD from Harvard, Hillary got her JD at Yale, and as mentioned by ilovebagels, Obama got his JD at Harvard, where he was the first black President of the Harvard Law Review.} </p>
<p>But Edwards, Giuliani, McCain, Huckabee, Richardson, Biden, Dodd, Thompson, Paul, Kucinich, Gravel, Hunter - none of them have any connection to Harvard or Yale, whether undergrad or otherwise.</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna College is excellent for political science, international relations, or economics. In fact, CMC is famous for its government and economics departments.</p>
<p>70% of its 2007 graduates majored in one of those 3 fields. CMC also has a special program in Washington DC. Program alumni routinely attend graduate school at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and Columbia, while others have returned to Washington to begin careers in government and related fields.</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna is a liberal arts college, too, so you get a lot of personal attention. Just google Claremont McKenna College and you'll see.</p>
