Hmm can not send an email -- BUT "invented the blackberry".

Are we seeing some issues that are a problem in the campaign that need some spin?

Shakes head -- Like you said - all that needs to happen is for people to read facts - there is a HUGE difference between the two.

t, I honestly see the tide turning in this campaign. If we all work hard and talk with folks (within and outside Idaho), reason is going to prevail this time. (And I'll be in touch soon about visiting some of your neighbors, as we discussed a while ago ... that's rolling out this week and next )

And, as further evidence of his "pro-science/technology" stance, McCain recently bashed Obama's request for federal funds to be spent on (I'm quoting here): "Planetariums and other foolishness." That's right folks, $22M spent on a bridge to an island in Alaska primarily populated with summer homes for the uber-rich is comparable to $3M to fund an upgrade to the Adler Planetarium's 40 year old projector that inspires many thousands of school children every year about the wonders of the universe!

Is it any wonder McCain graduated fourth from the bottom of his class?

This is probably as good a time as any to post the two tickets' academic resumes.

Can we PLEASE elect the smartest guy this time?

Obama:
Occidental College (Los Angeles) - 2 years studying Politics and Public Policy.
Columbia University (New York) - B.A. Political Science with a specialization in International Relations.

Harvard Law School - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude, Editor-in-Chief of the Harvard Law Review.

Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and a B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899.

Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester - Business Administration.
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - General Studies.
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - Journalism.
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester.
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism.

McCain graduated near the bottom of his class. Palin was a serial transfer student in college. These facts pretty well speak for themselves. And here's an article about Palin's utter lack of distinction in school:

McCain went to his 50th college reunion today:
