Missouri Candidate Claims Degree in Economics

Missouri gubernatorial candidate Dave Spence (R) says he "earned a degree in Economics" from the University of Missouri.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes that "may be true -- but it is not entirely accurate. According to the university, Spence's degree is not in economics. It is in home economics."

Spence admitted he had to change his major in order to graduate on time: "I was not the greatest student in the world. I'll make fun of myself: I was a 60-watt bulb in a 100-watt society."
We'd guess more like a 40-watt incandescent bulb in a world of fluorescents. See?
