I can’t believe Freepers are falling for this. Drinking the MSM koolaid in gallon bottles.
Tell me, after you got your M.D., in which medical specialty you became Board Certified in and at what national percentile you scored in your specialty Board Examination and then we can decide if you are "pretty bright" and I am not.
Although it is true that graduate studies takes you to various universities, an undergraduate study that features such schools raises Red Flags.
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism
When trying to judge a potential President of the United States, whether you are curious about the academic record, or merely want to explain it away, is up to you considering how "bright" you are.
I happen to be curious about the matter, especially in regards to a candidate that could not name a single newspaper she read articles from.
If you would bother finding out what you are talking about it would help to keep you from looking stupid. The reason Sarah went to 5 different colleges had nothing to do with not being able to cut it grade wise. It had to do with money and other personal problems. The point is, that is spite of the problems she was able to finish out her degree. There is no "red" flag.
I'm thinking her handlers probably told her to always avoid specifics so they couldn't come back to bite her. Couric and other journalists know this is politician trick so they ask specific questions for a "gotcha" momement. Let's say she said "The New York Times". They would have then asked who her favorite Times writer is. If she doesn't know this then it's "Gotcha". If she answers this then the next question is: What did you think of his article on X and so on and so forth till they come to the gotcha moment.
Palin gave me the impression that she, indeed does NOT read very much in regards to foreign affairs and was much less informed than scores of regular posters on Free Republic.
And when was the last time you met and talked to Gov. Palin?
Suffice it to say I didn't have much of an audience.
Frankly, if I read the NYT, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post and the LA Times regularly I'd have to say I didn't get any meaningful ideas at all from any of them, and I would imagine you wouldn't either unless you a braindead Democrat, then any idea is a "new idea".
BTW, not all graduate study has to do with getting an MD. There are many other fields of endeavor. Ms. Palin's undergraduate career is typical of people with little money to spend on higher education. They work their way through college, and take their opportunities as they come up.
Your interest in her college career is intriguing. Weren't you around when we discussed several threads that covered the topic?
BTW, Abraham Lincoln was self-taught. You knew that, right?
They don't follow FR to the degree that I do but they're all Sarah Palin fans. Some day I may get to meet them ~
Would any of the ROmneyBOTS share with FReeRepublic a picture of that chair their Master sent his minion?

If you bother to read the original exchange, I responded to a post that implied that 5 different colleges in undergraduate was a positive.
Whether you like it or not, multiple jobs or multiple schools in undergraduate DO constitute a Red Flag for employers that prompts the question, "Why?".
Whether Palin could "cut it" or not academically is a question neither you nor I can answer because her college transcript has never been released.
The difference between the two of us is that you seem to be a "Move along. There's nothing here to see" kinda guy and I am not.
Excuse me, but what business it is of yours to scrutinize Sarah Palin’s college record? Why don’t you post your own records from kindergarten ot scrutinize?! Sick, sick vouyerism!
I just sent her an e-mail.
She has access to my wallet, but the RNC does not.
I will donate to individual conservatives.
The RNC will not get a dime until they purge themselves of elitist RINOs.
I agree that it’s really about her faith. I wonder how many of her attackers even realize that themselves.
That would require spiritual introspection and spiritual discernment. Such is an impossible realm for those who are perishing.
What is point?
She is smart enuf to govern a city and state
and poll above 80%.
I doubt you or I could have done those things WELL, like her.
I have placed calls to state offices—they are answering and I sent email to FOX news—I told FOX, I chose cable provider based on offering FOX—now could care less! I told RNC I will never work for a campaign and/or donate again. They are pathetic.
Yeah.... everyone knows that Africa is one of the 57 states!
My husband was 25 when he finished college, and he started when he was 18.
Most people would think that he had some academic problems based on that information - 7 years to finish college.
However, his parents stopped supporting him when he was 18 and he had to pay for college on his own. He worked and went to college. Sometimes, he had to take semesters off in order to finish college.
He only went to 2 colleges because he found work near those colleges. However, it may have been more colleges if he had to move to find work.
He is now a very successful director of a computer company in the Silicon Valley.
It wasn't an accident that he was nominated- it was planned that way by those in charge of the party that think they are so much smarter than we are and were convinced we needed a RINO to win. The problem we have to figure out how to solve is keeping it from happening again. The way the primaries work now the nominee is selected by Republicans in the East and they are generally less conservative so they pick RINOs. It's all a done deal before many of the states that will vote for conservatives even have their primary. I don't know how to fix it, but it has to begin early on in the process.
