McCain
- Bachelors from Naval Academy rank 5th from the bottom of his class of 800.

- Juris Doctor (JD) from Syracuse University College of Law.

Obama
- BA in International Relations form Columbia University.
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude from Harvard in 1991. (That’s top of his class at arguably the best school in the country/world.) While at Harvard he was also president of the Harvard Law Review.

Harvard was already going downhill in the 1950s.

These days, grade inflation there makes State Universities look tame in comparison.

The Ivy League is not what it once was and Yale Law blows away Harvard Law any day of the week. Even Stanford Law beats it.

BTW, Magna Cum Laude does not mean "top of the class". That would be maxima cum laude. At Harvard, "Magna Cum Laude" means a 3.3 GPA. Top of the class? Not even close.

We are in complete agreement. Like I said, the Idaho scool sports journalism is today's gold standard.

How do we know? We can see how thousands of foreigners, Chinese, Indians, are waiting in line to register there.

Actually, not. Affirmative Action taints the whole process. We don't know if Obama actually qualified to get into Harvard or not. Also, Affirmative Action works its way into the grading process at Harvard so we also don't know if that had anything to do with his GPA or not.

A 3.3 GPA doesn't impress me. Heck, it doesn't even beat ME, so by that standard, Obama isn't brighter than I am.

If Obama had real management or executive experience, I'd be impressed. He has none. Zip, zero, nada, none.

Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined and therefore is more qualified for President than Obama is, if you want to go down that road.

Heck, I'm more qualified than Obama based on a resume' of management and executive experience and I'm a decade younger than he is.

USNA is also harder just to get into than Harvard is since each graduating class is only 1000 persons.

McCain only got into USNA because his father and grandfather were admirals.

Just like Obama only got into Harvard Law school thanks to affirmative action, and Dumbya got into Yale and Harvard business school thanks to his father and grandfather's wealth, power, and connections.

None of these guys are exactly great talents who made it in life through merit or personal achievement.

Did Sarah Palin pull favors to get into an ivy league school? No she is regular folk and that is refreshing.

This choice of McSame speaks loudly of his own selfishness and fundamental frivolousness.

You are foolish if you believe that Palin’s “inexperience” and Obama’s “inexperience” are equivalent. Obama is quite obviously an impressive man with extraordinary qualities of organization, discipline and leadership. I see nothing in Palin’s record to suggest that she has any such qualities.

He is a man who has spent his adult life thinking serious thoughts about serious issues and having serious conversations about them with other serious, well-informed people; while Palin quite as clearly has done none of those things. He was the president of the Harvard Law Review; she was the point guard on her high school basketball team.

He has surrounded himself in his campaign with world-class people; and, I doubt that she has even met a half-dozen world-class people in her lifetime.

I am confident that Obama will surround himself with experienced, informed, competent advisors and that he would make no world-destroying blunders. I cannot say the same about Palin and, in view of what this choice reveals about McCain’s character and judgment, I cannot say the same of him either.

He was the president of the Harvard Law Review;

But he knew so little about the constitution that he thinks there is no second amendment. He also believes in the pretend right to murder your children.

And he's campaigned in all 57 states...

Maybe he thought Indonesia was a state. And that place in Africa that his father was from. That would make 52. I wonder what the other five were.

You're doing it again, just like they did in 2000.

Actually I intend on voting for Baldwin. But I must admit that Palin has given me a pause.

McCain isn't going to die, and she's only going to bring in more Christian Zionist suckers. That's her job. It's working.

That is why she was ripped by the Dems for wearing a Pat Buchanan button in 2000. They even called Pat a Nazi. Yeah she is such a zionist.

More false opposition. She's definitely a Zionist, or else she wouldn't be standing next to McCain blathering about Iran's nuclear program.
