Breaking news???? Something that occurred over 25 years ago???? Why are you people so fixated on everything Palin, even when it's really old and irrelevant????
Actually it is not really irrelevant b/c history repeats itself. This country just endured 8 years of organized stupidity, but with this chick she is constantly contradiction of almost everything that comes out of her mouth
The Dems raising this stuff is just incredibly ironic when they passed over THE most intelligent and accomplished candidate in favor of the Affirmative Action candidate. Obama himself says he was a screw-up in high school and the early years of college. He was doing drugs and "finding himself."
841?!?! I scored almost that high on Math and Verbal individually
Can we really afford to have a mildly functional [MOD CUT/offensive] person in the white house????
My daughter, with an IQ I won't reveal, but I can assure you is highet than 90% of the country's scored almost that low: she had a very bad day, was tired, already had been accepted into almost any college she choose because of other things, so what does Sarah's score have to do with what she is or isn't today? Nothing!!! Get over it.
I have said before and will again, I am not a Sarah supporter, in fact hubby and I argue about that all the time, but I don't think something like SAT scores have a hell of a lot to do with anything.
If she is not smart enough to be in politics, yet the smart politicians have dug us in this hole, what does that leave us with?
boy isn't that the truth...There is more to be a good Presdient or good anything than a high IQ..I think it is called common sense and the abiity to listen to others...

Nita
If she were accepted "for other things" then why take the SAT at all???
Sorry, not buying it. You're just defending Palin the retard (and I say that as satire, like Rush Limbaugh's use of the word "retard", the retard that he is). People with high IQ's would not get bad SAT scores ike that even on their worst days.
I suppose the intent of the OP was to imply that SP is lacking in intelligence. Whether the SAT score was factual or not the intent was malicious and irrelevant to predictive reasoning and serves only as a diversion from current legislative issues.
If SP is deemed an academic dreg based on her SATs from 25yrs ago, any actions she may take in the future are mitigated by her proven stupidity.
This sort of predictive 'scientific' reasoning gave rise to the witch trials in Europe and the use of cranial phrenology, "examples being propaganda in Nazi Germany and Jim Crow segregation in the southern United States."
This is the stuff of elitist propaganda where the seeds of destructive prejudice are sown.
Woe be the segment of the population who has never taken the SAT's or produced low SAT scores.
Did McCain's SATs or class standing predict his behavior in the shipboard disaster or during the years of captivity he survived while living in the most adverse and primitive conditions?
Perhaps kindness, a sense of fair play and empathetic concern demonstrated toward others is the best predictive linear measure of integrity and worth.
Personal attacks need to be held separate from legislative and political issues.
Applying the same flawed reasoning originally posted, any dope smoking misguided, left leaning, extremist associated, minority youth could never become president of the US.
I just love to see PO supporters using SP as the gold standard for comparison with their sitting president. By their own admission she is not much more than last years decaying political road kill and yet they insist on comparing PO to her in order to showcase PO's merits and superiority.
Surely PO will appear as a winner when held to such a low standard.
Get back to issues.
