That is my point...it was brought up and immediately brushed aside because it was 'normal' where she was from to do that sort of thing...so to me, it's a big 180 turn that now after the fact it's being discussed in depth.

Not trying to say "I told you so." but moreso that this was an issue that when it really counted no one really brought up.

Again, if the vetting committee was comfortable with it, that was their choice.

I guess I don't understand your point because I don't think it really counted, ever, and the people who are suggesting that it does reveal something significant didn't really consider her qualified in other respects. As near as I can tell, no one would have changed their votes based on a more timely discussion of this issue.

But you got the point right there...at the time it was brought up, it didn't count nor mattered because, and this is my supposition, since she was being picked for such a high position, her education wasn't that big a deal and apparently had already had met muster, so why question it?

Everything else had mattered, not her school hopping.

Funny thing is, we are discussing academic credentials and we are so far and away of pinning down the cause of her abrupt resigning from office.

It's all good, maybe this line of convo will help make some sense of what's going on in Palin's head.
