Only someone who knows nothing about statistics would try to aggregate
polls that sample different groups and ask different questions.

Both Gates went to Harvard and Allen to Washington State. Are you saying
that they lacked the education to get into top colleges?

And it is good to see that you are so impressed by the very Harvard that
apparently has no academic standards at all because it gave Obama a
degree.

Now you're being ridiculous. Palin took six years to finish a four year
degree. McCain graduated 905 out of 909. I can guarantee you McCain's and
Palin's handlers will be avoiding the subject of academic achievement at
all costs.

The only really objective measures that could settle this are Obama's
SAT and LSAT scores. Too bad he wont release them.

His undergraduate GPA and his work at HLS are totally subjective.
