There is no reason why each of the Candidates should not release all of their college transcripts.
In fact, it would be fun to compare McCain and Palin Grades and course loads against that of Obama and Biden.
It would make for one of the best threads in FR History!
I am sure the transcripts would show Obama getting a C in Intro to Sociology while McCain an Sarah received A’s in Physics and Chemistry,

You also have to consider the periods in which the candidates were educated and the colleges they attended. The military academies are academically rigorous, and in the era that Joe Biden and John McCain attended college, so were the Ivy League colleges. But Biden attended the University of Delaware at Newark and finished in the bottom one-quarter of his class. McCain likely has the edge here. By the period Sarah Palin and Barack Obama went to college, academic standards had declined seriously from where they had been in the 1960s. Barack Obama is an Ivy League graduate, but also an affirmative action beneficiary. Judging by his malapropisms and incoherence away from a teleprompter, gaffes which make Dan Quayle look like a modern day Cicero or Quintilian, Obama is not a well educated man, even in the superficial sense that Bill Clinton or John Kennedy were. Sarah Palin is still an unknown, but appears promising. However, her skills are likely mostly from life experience rather than formal academics.
