light weight about to attempt to fight heavy weight divison. i wish this was GOP best shot but i know it is not. more comin up the road. ugly mean & nasty round the bend.
To much is made of a college education. Academics by and large are pretty useless thats why they end up academics. Sarah is hands on goal and result oriented executive that isnt afraid to get her hands dirty doing real work
for instance running off the alaskan good ole boys who ripping off her state
What, and we don't need to produce more engineers and scientist to compete with China I should assume.
I am just linking articles from her home paper. Are they part of a conspiracy? Some of them are from before she was even selected.
No no....go ahead....the partisan searching is fun. Let me guess those are all the articles you can find....no other good ones.....just the ones talking bad.
Since something like 80% of Alaska likes her that argument holds little weight.
It is probably pretty politically safe to bash gays in Alaska.
Could you explain that?

I doubt she is "hiding" anything. Have any other presidential candidates released their transcripts? This election or any other?

As far as the Prez . . . these are political candidates we are talking about. The brightest and best don't go into politics. Sad, but true. The brightest and best are often the unknown physicians, researchers behind the scenes.
Or they may be famous b/c they created a business or invented something - like Bill Gates, who is a genius and didn't need to rely on a college degree to do what he saw as his mission in life.
There really is no correlation b/tn intelligence and grades. Honestly. There have been many studies on this.
And anyway - we are talking about politicians here . .. not brain surgeons or nuclear physicists (altho I believe Jimmy Carter was a nuclear physicist).
I agree. Jimmy Carter has a BS degree from the Naval Academy in Annapolis. He took some post-grad work in nuclear engineering, but did not get a graduate degree.

Harry Truman did not attend college. Eisenhower had a degree from West Point. While that may be considered an "elite" college, he did not have an advanced degree. See above re: Carter. Reagan had a two year degree from Eureka College in Illinois. I don't know about the VPs.
How many times do I have to say it? You are NOT allowed to transfer to another university if you don't have decent grades. I know you are dying to see that she had bad grades, and if you don't see her grades you are going to ASSume they were bad, but I have three kids in college right now and IF YOU DON'T HAVE A 2.5 GPA MINIMUM, YOU CANNOT TRANSFER.
You are not allowed to transfer credits lots of folks transfer with poor grades their grades just don't go with them. Do you know anyone who flunked out from a four year then went to their local 2 year and back to a four year or from one four year to another with the eligible grades transferring and those below the benchmark not transferring.
Yawn. Kerry, Kennedy, Gore, Bush, to name a few Ivy leaguers I wouldn't vote for today.
I work in a factory, I deal with college grads everyday. They are called managers. Whats most apparent in many of them is college taught them nothing about practical application. Looks good on paper mentality abounds, superior elitist attitudes are in no short supply. But the ability to connect the dots almost nonexistant.
In short college is not just a little over rated.
