The word from Wasilla, AK, care of the NYT:
She said she’s never voted, and was a teenage mom “like Bristol.” She likes Sarah because she’s “down home” but said Obama “gives me the creeps. Nothing to do with the fact that he’s black. He just seems snotty, and he looks weaselly.”
Why do our leaders need to be "down home"? Why do our leaders need to be just like you and me? I do not want to relate to my leaders? I want them to be much more intelligent, ethical and moral than I am. And if I can't get all of that, I certainly want them to be better educated that the average voter.
McCain: Bachelors degree from the USNA. Class rank: 894/899
Palin: Bachelors degree from University of Idaho, passing through 4 other colleges on her way.
Obama:Bachelors degree from Columbia University, with 1 stop along the way
JD from Harvard University, Magna Cum Laude
Biden: Bachelors degree from University of Delaware. Class rank: 506/688
JD from Syracuse University. Class rank: 76/85
Personally, I've had it with leadership of questionable intelligence. Haven't you?
ps:
And...weaselly? It is better than Bush who has very simian like qualities, and McCain who kind of looks like a bull-frog.

I couldn't agree more, Nirali! Who wants their leader to be "just like me"? I know I don't have the patience to negotiate mid-east peace deals, but I would certainly want my President to.
