Over recent weeks, much has been made of the fact that Sarah Palin attended 5 colleges over 6 years. So below is a comparison of the educational backgrounds of what will be out next President and Vice President (thanks to VMD for the source):
Barack Obama:
Occidental College - Two years
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude
Joe Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science
Syracuse University College of Law - J.D.
vs.
John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899
Sarah Palin (a/k/a Caribou Barbie):
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general studies
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism
And just for shits and grins, here's the Libertarian ticket:
Bob Barr:
University of Southern California - B.A.
George Washington University - master's degree in international journalism
Georgetown University - J.D.
Wayne Allyn Root:
Columbia University - B.A. political science (I don't know who is either but found out that he was in the same class as Obama)
So it turns out that Palin only attended 4 different colleges -- not 5 --- over that fateful 6 year period of time. Obama, on the other hand, only went to Occidental for 2 years before he dropped out. And by my count, Obama and Biden went to as many schools (5 different schools) as did McCain and Palin. Magna Cum Laude vs. 894/899? This all really seems like a wash to me.

Yeah, but Obama and Biden racked up more degrees.
And Biden is smarter than Palin anyway.
I am pretty sure Obama has more smarts in his pinky than Palin has in her whole body. It's really shocking that the Republicans are running two C-level candidates -- and still leading in the poles. It's still hard to fathom.
Caribou Barbie . . . that is really funny.
The lead in the polls: So crazy that people would vote according to how much they think the candidates are like themselves. Duh. I am a total idiot who is over her head running a PTA. I would prefer someone smarter running the country. Cause, you know, it's a little more complicated.
