True, true. I had a friend in high school whose parents went to Yale, so it didn't matter what his grades were, he was going to get into Yale. But that is a very small minority.

But it's not like Bush fooled anyone. When people were asked back in 2000 why they were voting for him, the most common answers I heard were things like "he is a regular guy" or "he looks like someone I could have a beer with". Nobody at all confused him with being an educated elite type.
