let's just say that it is obvious that she got a public school high school education in a town where academics was not stressed and two of her four colleges in four years, North Idaho College and Matanuska–Susitna College, offered only Associates Degrees. Her sub-standard education shows and her fund of knowledge is rather shallow.:

I agree. Graduates of minor colleges with names we can make fun of obviously have no place in higher office.

LOL! Eureka is a Tier I institution and ranked by US News and World Report.... see below:

Nice try.


If she can make great strikes over the next few years, perhaps she will not embarrass the conservative movement. Otherwise, she's poison other than rallying internally.

Your comment is a strawman argument, denydenydeny.

What part of "AND IT SHOWS" do you not understand?

What part of "her fund of knowledge is rather shallow" do you not understad?

What part of "Heilemann said that even after crash-course tutorials by campaign aides following the convention, Palin was still woefully uninformed about basic policy issues. 'She still didn’t really understand why there was a North Korea and a South Korea' ..." do you not understand?

When somebody is running to be one heartbeat away from the Presidency and is clueless about the mid-20th Century History that shapes the foundations of the World that the U.S. lives in today, you research the question, "Where the h*ll was she educated?" and, in her case, it turned out to be in schools that were in two "colleges" that offered only Associates degrees and vocational training.

What matters is the FINAL EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT.

Bill Gates is not a "graduate" at all. He is a drop out. In contrast, however, Bill Gates' education, be it a school education or a self education, SHOWS.

What SHOWS in Sarah Palin, be she a graduate or a drop out or a Rhodes Scholar, is that she did not learn very much and is "woefully uninformed" to the point that “She still didn’t really understand why there was a North Korea and a South Korea.”

That level of ignorance, equivalent to Obama not knowing a Corpsman from a "Corpse-Man", is extremely dangerous in a President of the United States.
