Palin attends 5 colleges in 6 years

[R13]

Mccain has had ZERO executive experience also. An officer in the military is not a mayor, gov or president. Like I said it was a town of 9,000 and didnt finish 1 term as governor. Shes was up there voting on Polar bears and firing ppl she didnt like, she brings nothing to the table.

Well, if the criticism hasn't really run amuck...now she's being criticized for attending multiple colleges, having uncertainty in selecting a major - that's the plight of many Americans. And Obama is to be recommended because he knew from the beginning that he wanted to become a street lawyer, wanted to help his race in spite of racial leanings? So an individual's worthiness is to be based on extracurricular activities? And on grad school? Jeez, poor Lincoln - he wouldn't have stood a chance in today's world.</div></div>

Why yes I criticize her. Her history shows her motivation and drive as very thin. And yes putting your ALL into your college career means a lot to me and to other people. And I judge her on that. I wont lie.

There are others out there considerably more qualified and he could have hand picked any of them for running mate. He just went for the Hillary vote.

And it's the 21st century now... can't accurately bring Lincoln into the mix...

, Wash. "? Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin attended five colleges in six years before graduating from the University of Idaho in 1987.

She began college at Hawaii Pacific University, a private, nonsectarian school in Honolulu. She attended only as a freshman during the fall of 1982, school spokeswoman Crystale Lopez said.

So if my math is correct, that was 26 years ago. Palin is 44. Meaning when she was 18 years of age, she attended college. And from the age of 18 to 23, she attended 5 different colleges and then finally graduated!?

What's the big deal?

I like how it mentions how the University of Idaho's mascot is the Vandals. Guess that means Palin is going to sack Rome like the Vandals did in the 400's AD.

Does going to 3 different colleges over 10 years have any bearing on your view as well?

Nah, no decisiveness on her part - one husband, stick with a pregant daughter, worked her way up, a Down's baby - let's kick her to the curb. The woman is more like me and you (and I'm not patronizing) that, IMO, anyone who has ran for office in our lifetime. She isn't wealthy, her husband is a blue collar worker, she fully understands the vagaries and problems with being a working mom/wife/politician. That alone warrants my vote - nothing about McCain - I'm voting for the lady. I only wish she and McCain would pull an Obama and flip-flop roles! A great role model she is - I've been blessed to have been married to one woman for 21 years, has given me 5 children - and I guarantee she has the sense, fiscal understanding, ability to make hard decisions to run this country. Nothing is more difficult than successfully running a home - and I believe Palin can and will do a great job. Being a mom is the greatest, most difficult job in the world. If she applies the same principles to the VP job, then I'm sure she will do fine

If it takes her 5 years to find the college she wants how long is it going to take her to make some of the decisions of a VP or presidency...that is why it is a big deal. And yes many people change their majors, colleges etc, but not many ppl are going to be a possible VP right now.

I pray I'm never judged based on my decisions as an 18 year old. And yeah, I can bring Lincoln into the equation - he's part of history.

This, like all the other political threads, have turned into nothing but a pissing contest between the liberals and conservatives on here. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion Nothing, nor nobody is going to change that. Eight years ago, it was Bush's National Guard service, Then 4 years ago, it was Kerry's medal crisis, today, it is Obama's inexperience and Palin's inability to stay in one college and pick a major.

Absolutely stupid. Why don't you avail yourself to me now, so that I can check up on you in 15 years and scrutinize your decisions as a young adult? Seems to me that you folks are actually sexist.

Or, does going going to 3 colleges in 9 years have any bearing? God forgive me of the great sin!
