"Besides, my daughter is a 4.0 student in a difficult major and she’ll be finishing up closer to 6 than 5 because of holding out a year to work and wait for lower in state rates. People not born to wealth and inclined to carry their own weight often have interruptions that delay degree completion."

But that's the problem. Palin didn't take a difficult major. She majored in journalism. This wouldn't be an issue if it took her even 6 years to complete a B.Sc in physics or chemistry.

The fact remains, you do not have those records, so you don’t know how she spent those 5 years, whether there were breaks for work, credit transfer problems, etc. It is an unsuitable basis for judging intellect. It would never work in a court of law because it can have so many different possible explanations; it amounts to no evidence at all.

And as a statistical matter, don’t you think a high school honors student is more likely to perform well in college than not, especially since the honors courses are geared to demonstrate collegiate level capacities? You do realize you’re actually asking us to accept the less likely scenario, with no corroboration, don’t you? Sorry. No sale here.

What is the issue here, Sarah Heath took five years to get a Degree? I didn't finish College but I somehow managed to have a successful Management Career spanning over 30 years with a Fortune 500 Company. Gee, I guess I was just lucky and won life's Lottery (thank you Bill Clinton).

Unlike the Affirmative Action Hero we currently have in the White House, Sarah Heath WORKED her way through College, as did my Niece who took five years to Graduate. Is that now some sort of shameful act that requires this level of disdain?

Did someone rename the “Daily Kos” Website Free Republic and fail to notify me? It seems we are busy eating our own while the Marxists take over the Country.

My question is, who is out there right now publicly defending the Constitution of the United States, anyone, anyone, Bueller? Everyone here knows the answer to that question, and it doesn't seem to be the people representing us in Congress or most of the people participating in the endless Republican Debates.

I hope Governor Palin jumps in, but she will do what she thinks best for herself, her Family and the Country. The speculation being tossed about here will not change her decision, but her decision will affect the future if all of us in one way or another.

Opinion regarding our Candidates, (declared or not), is one thing, but the entrenched positions being taken here are turning into numerous “go for the throat” confrontations IMHO.

The Obama Administration should be the topic of our ire, not slamming each other for backing one particular Republican Candidate over another.

Whomever is the last Man or Woman standing will get my Vote. Others here disagree, so be it. I have stated on many previous postings that I am an “Anybody But Obama” Voter and my opinion has not changed.

Just my .02 cents...
