Clearly demonstrating that Obama is a flaming elitist.  But wait, didn't his Bushness attend Harvard?  < cough, cough >

Oh, there you are, Perry. -Phineas -SLB-

I think any time you compare Obama with Palin it's a loser for democrats.  He's running against MCCAIN.

Actually Palin's chequered history would be endering if she had been a good Mayor and a good Gov, as it happens she has been neither.

not worth a hill of sawdust. Obama is smart to avoid Palin. It's all about McCain.

over the next 8 weeks she'll end up polarizing the electorate and self destruct.

  It's all about McCain- Meet the Real McCain "John Bush" the Senator Most Likely to Start a Nuclear War.

What the election is all about: The markets and kitchen table issues. Since Palin was introduced the markets (DJIA) lost over 700 points.

Today, unemployment shot up over 6.1%, a 5 year high and Mortgage Foreclosures, Delinquencies Reach Highest in 30 years

The recession is now global due to US exports of fraudulent bonds.  

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

Careful folks. Boo had a college tour too... and he became a community organizer :)

It doesn't matter how many colleges she attended.  Lots of ordinary folks bounce around until they figure out what they want to do.  Besides, a large portion of the American public is anti-intellectual.  They either don't trust people who are "too smart" or resent that some people had a chance (or the brains and discipline) to attend fancy schools.  Attacking her for that makes us sound elitist.

I say we focus on her "Iraq War" as a mission from God.  Now that is the type of thinking that is bound to say more stupid scary, stuff in the next eight weeks.

When does this appear on a larger radar screen than Andrew Sullivan's blog? BTW, "emergency motion" is a link that doesn't open. Hmmmmmm?

Here We Go
Todd Palin's former business partner files an emergency motion to have his divorce papers sealed. Oh God.

Yep, here is what 6 years of college gets you:

a little video of VP Palin's past. We report you decide.

What folks don't really recognize is the fact that the repugs literally want to destroy the government, so having someone with no experience is a good thing - she's most likely to fuck shit up in the way that only incompetence can bring about because incompetence has no conscience.

I was all aboard until I realized that rope-a-dope is the tactic McCain is using on us.

Dis Palin and you dis yourself.

Obama is the change candidate, but he has been whipped into this 'make myself acceptable mode' and can't describe the changes he would bring without threatening that. The repugs are saying hell yes we are going to wreck shop and we are NOT acceptable to the folks you hate. They can say anything.  

McCain 51%, Obama 48% is my prediction until the debates begin. Getting my passport updated.

Steven, usually your posts leave me exhilarated. This one, sorry to say, just leaves a bad taste. Palin's less-than-stellar educational path is the kind of thing that resonates with most Americans from working-class families (like myself). For many, just getting through college is an accomplishment to be proud of. Dumping on that accomplishment and comparing it to a Harvard career only alienates people who can identify better with Palin's educational path better than they can with Obama's. This is what gives such intensity to the hatred of "liberal elitists" who are seen as lording it over the "real folks".

Palin's problem is not her college choices and record. It's her whacko belief that we should teach children that the earth is 6000 years old and that all the scientists are wrong or lying about it. It's her ignorant denial of climate change, environmental problems, and the benefits of real sex education for teenagers. It's her belief that the police should force a 14-year-old to deliver what grew inside her after her daddy raped her. It's her apparent addiction to serial lying, and to abuse of power for personal ends. It's her stated belief the "God" is the one who planned the oil pipeline, and the rest of her nasty, stupid theocrat bullshit. Her problem is that she's nuts, and not even in an interesting way. Her problem is that she'd be a complete disaster in the White House.

The Bushes and their cohorts prove for once and for all that an Ivy League "education" does not in any way suggest that the graduate is not a total asshole. I think our side needs to quit nitpicking Palin's bio and focus on her vast ignorance of national issues and proclivity for lying. Leave the rest to the scandal rags.

FDR's response to progressive demands: "I agree. Now go out and make me do it."

A few different things about Palin's bio stand out for me: she majored in journalism and she was a beauty contestant.  Sadly, television news favors winners of beauty contests for jobs over more highly qualified journalists.
