Palin: She Inhaled, By Lisa Lerer - CBS News
The Politico) Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is known as a staunch social conservative. She's a life long NRA member, belongs to an anti-abortion-rights group called Feminists for Life and opposes civil unions.

But the self-proclaimed "hockey mom" had some youthful indiscretions.

Palin has said she smoked marijuana but didn't enjoy it and doesn't smoke anymore.

"I can't claim a Bill Clinton and say that I never inhaled,” she told the Anchorage Daily News in 2006.
Glad she admitted it, she didn't make a "dog ate my homework" horse**** story like the president with a social disease. I didn't inhale, no sex with THAT woman and depends on what is is". Pathetic moonbats, no wonder you self destruct every 4 years, you DESERVE to.

Palin education took her to five colleges: Gov. Sarah Palin | adn.com
SPOKANE, Wash. - Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin attended five colleges in six years before graduating from the University of Idaho in 1987.
Federal privacy laws prohibit the schools from disclosing her grades, and none of the schools contacted by The Associated Press could say why she transferred. There was no indication any of them were contacted as part of the background investigation of Palin by presidential candidate John McCain's campaign.

"Our office was not contacted by anyone," said Tania Thompson, spokeswoman for the University of Idaho in Moscow.

It is probably pretty politically safe to bash gays in Alaska.

Is that why she's been kissing Ted Steven's butt? Despite her claims, she originally supported his pet project.. the Bridge to Nowhere, and refusing to call for Stevens' resignation even when he was indicted.

If she opposes even civil unions.. then screw her.. she can go to hell.. I have actually been giving her the benefit of the doubt on a lot of things and haven't thought much of the attacks being made... but I don't agree with hate... so palin can eat a bowl of moose crap as far as I'm concerned...
sounds to me indeed that it WILL be another 4 more years...

Your numerous "questionable" post aren't helping. CBS and CNN are showing a tie? With a 4.4% spread across all polls.

But heck - I guess the media can make something out of nothing when an election campaign in going on . . .
What did you expect? - McCain Campaign Manager Rick Davis: "This election is not about issues."

After this was released the Republican Party issued a full frontal attack on the Democrats, the Press, the Senate, the House of Representatives, Senator Clinton, and anyone else they could aim Senator Palin at last night. There wasn't one iota of a platform anyone took away from that terrible delivery except - I am here to deliver that juice in the garbage truck you folks smell three hours after I've been here.

This was an abysmal failure to take advantage of a Historic Moment in what should have been a Hallmark moment for Women. Try putting that mess on a card. Was I stunned, yes. Senator McCain managed to produce two defibrillator moments in the space of a week as the Governor issued a stark reminder of what is wrong with the last eight years. Isn't public speaking a class?

My guess is she transferred because she wanted to. She obviously had passing grades, because normally you have to have a 2.5 GPA minimum to transfer to another school. Also, many times credits don't transfer from one school to another (even schools that you would think would have equivalent courses), so sometimes you have to retake some of the courses that didn't transfer. That, and the fact that she may have gone for a year or two before she knew what she wanted to major in, would explain why it took her longer. My daughter has changed her major 3 times and transferred once. When she transferred there were a lot of her courses that didn't transfer, even for the same degree (graphic design), even from a comparable public university in the same stahether plus at the new school entrance into the professional program was so competitive that very few actually get in. So she was forced to change her major. It is going to take her a little extra time, but she's going to graduate. She gets good grades, she's not wishy-washy, and she now knows what she wants to do. So it took her longer than four years. The first college she went to actually told us that these days a lot of times it takes 5 years to finish.
