How Do the Candidates educational background compare???

Obama:
Occidental College - Two years.
Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in
political science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 out of
899(meaning that, like George Bush, McCain was at the bottom
of his class)

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


Now I don't know about you, but I tend to think education is a good thing along with experience. Who will, more likely, be able to assess any situation and make a decision based on the facts 'as they are' instead of 'as someone is telling them they are'? GWB seems to have made the costly mistake of starting the Iraq War because of 'misinformation'.
Incidentally, Barack Obama called for MORE information before we committed our resources to the invasion in Iraq.
