Sherrod Brown last night showed the right approach to Palin during his intro. of Obama/Biden
It's about McCain's lame-assed judgment...the crowd ate it up:

Campaigning Saturday in Ohio, Obama shied away from directly criticizing the newest addition to the Republican ticket, reflecting a campaign strategy to refrain from direct attacks on Palin. Instead, surrogates went on the offensive against Palin.

"Barack Obama and John McCain had one major test of their judgment" in the campaign, said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) at an evening rally in Dublin, Ohio. "John McCain chooses someone who is a mayor of a town of 7,000 people, then was elected governor, has been governor of a state for 18 months, a governor of a state that has half the population of Franklin County and yet she is going to be a heartbeat away from president."

The crowd, which booed at the mention of Palin, began yelling: "No way!"

"No way, no way is right," Brown said. "On the other hand, in his first exercise of good judgment, Barack Obama chose Joe Biden… John McCain's 26 years in the U.S. Senate certainly hasn’t helped him build good judgment."

1. But...but...Brown never said that Palin is an idiot because she has only a bachelor's in journalism!
I wonder why not? I mean, we NEED TO ARGUE THAT POINT if we're going to WIN THIS ELECTION, don't we? :sarcasm:

And, I mean, it's not as if such an argument would have offended anyone close to him. :sarcasm:

2. Let's compare.....
"Biden graduated from Archmere Academy in Claymont, Delaware<3> and, in 1965, from the University of Delaware in Newark,<5> where he double-majored in history and political science.<3> He went on to receive his J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968, and was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969"...

3. Also, let's compare the headliners
From Wiki answers:
" What kind of degree did John McCain get in college?
In: Graduate Degrees


He graduated the United States Naval Academy (Annapolis) in 1958"

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_kind_of_degree_did_John_McCain_get_in_college

And from YAHOO answers:

Where did john mccain graduate and what degree did they earn?
Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
U.S. Naval Academy, B.S., 1958
Graduate work, National War College, 1973-1974

4. Some people obviously missed my point.
Sherrod Brown's wife, Connie Schultz, is a law-school dropout with a journalism degree from Kent State.

She is also a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist.

Something tells me we're not going to hear Sherrod Brown running around trying to convince people that Palin is "stupid" because all she has is a journalism degree.

That's all.
