Interested to have additions on either side made to this list. It's an interesting way to compare.

Hmmmm....

Ponder the following:

What if John McCain had been president of the Harvard Law Review?

What if Barack Obama had finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating
class?

What if McCain had married only once, and Obama were divorced?

What if Obama were the candidate who abandoned his first wife after a severe
disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?

What if Obama, while still married, had met his second wife at a bar in
Hawaii and started a long affair?

What if Michelle Obama were the potential first lady who not only became
addicted to 50 pain killers a day, but acquired them through illegal
prescriptions in the names of three employees without their knowledge?

What if Cindy McCain graduated *** laude from Princeton and had a J.D. from
Harvard Law School?

What if Michelle Obamaʼs father had a premarital affair with her future
mother while still married to his first wife?

What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?
(The Keating Five were US Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a
major political scandal as part of the larger, costly Savings and Loan
bailout of the early 1990s.)

What if the Obamas had paraded five children across the convention stage,
including a three month old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?

What if McCain were the charismatic, eloquent speaker?

What if Obama couldn't read from a teleprompter?

What if Obama were the one with an armed services record including
disciplinary problems and an expensive flight history of crashing seven of
the militaryʼs airplanes?

What if Obama were known for regular public displays of a serious anger
management problem?

What if Michelle Obama's family had become wealthy from alcohol
distribution?

What if the Obamas had adopted a white child?


Is this what racism does? Rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in
one candidate and emphasizes negative qualities in another?

Educational Background:

Barack Obama:
Occidental College - two years
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specialization in
International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna *** Laude (top 20%)

Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. with double major in History and Political
Science. - Class rank: 506 of 688 (bottom 26%)
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899 (bottom ½%)

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

Education isn't always the answer, but weʼre talking about the two highest
offices in the land and our standing in the world.

If you vote for Obama you are racist. You have no where else to go with this simpleton's argument.

No, he's turning your head around. Not racist at all other than what you personally choose, consciously or not, to infer.

So indeed, what if?

What if McCaiin had chosen for his VP someone from his body of colleagues - after 26 years in the Senate that would be a pool of, say, be fair, say 1100+/- to choose from -?
