    I will break the trend. I Don't know much about her but I consider myself an average student around a 3.0 gpa with an Education major. Ill give her the benefit of the doubt.

    Unless you're going to five colleges in six years, I think you've got her beat. :)

    Some of the smartest people I know have 2.0 GPA, while some of the dumbest people I know have 3.5+ GPA.

    is the college that you attended the definition of "smart?"

    Not that it makes me qualified to run on a Presidential ticket today (I don't meet the age requirement to be President :D), but Baqui99 and I are share similar academic credentials:

    ME:
    Southern Methodist University, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, 2002
    The University of Texas at Austin, Master of Business Administration, 2008

    You'd hope that the years of experience she's been able to amass post-graduation would make her infinitely more qualified to be on the Republican ticket.... you would hope.

    You know, Sarah has a bachelor's in journalism from Idaho... I have a Master's in Journalism from Missouri, arguably the best j-school in the world. So I'm already a step ahead. If I can find some backwoods town in the middle of nowhere and move into small-town politics, maybe I can be on the GOP ticket in 20 years! :D

    Nah, I just went to school there and already came back to Texas. Good time, though, and definitely heard plenty of boot-heel stories. :)

    This could be a new reality show..."Are you Smarter than Sarah Palin?"

    The only problem is that the network would go broke giving away money.

    If intelligence were the main qualification, only I could be President.

    Besides, the only engineers who have been President were Hoover and Carter. As little as I think of lawyers, they have a better record.

    And didn't you go to Lamar for undergrad? That puts you head-and-shoulders above the competition.
