Sarah Palin Score 841 on the SATs.


The document indicates that Sarah Palin, then known by her maiden name "Sarah Heath", had average high school grades. Her SAT score is reported to be 841, out of the old maximum of 1600. Such a score, if it is indeed real, is pretty low for someone who wants to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Then I can become PM of Australia with a UAI score of 30. :shy:

It disappoints me to find out that account hadn't been created yet. Stay strong, Stephen. <3

I am a married man, and I love my wife. Any speculations about other women are just that, speculations. Stay on topic please.

Re: McCain admitting defeat?

It's over, it's ruined, the flame is snuffed a-borning, the cup is dashed from the lips, America is brought to wrack and ruin in her prime.
New age of sino-soviet domination. Obama will lower the flag of freedom and hand the world back to evil

Yeah, I'm seeing similar right-wing drivel pass for a concession post on others blogs and forums, too.

Good news is, the democrats will likely also get 58+ Senate seats, allowing them to invoke the Cloture Rule. In the House, they're looking at a 60 to 100 seat majority.

Some good times are ahead for America. The Democrats now have basically complete power to reverse the past 8 years of Republican damage, and they've got the best possible leader for it, too.

^They have complete access to reversing the damage, but in current context I disagree that they have complete power unless they remain in control for two plus terms.

Re: McCain admitting defeat?

Why? They will have a supermajority in both houses as well as the firm backing of the popular vote.

Do you mean they simply won't have enough time? Maybe. Either way, I imagine they'll get two terms based on how badly the GOP screwed its image up.

Well, it's difficult to see how the Democrats (at the present time) are going to afford universalising health care, improving education, and other social democratic programs, given impending US recession and massively massive state debt.

I think Obama's hands will be tied, unless he can find big expenditure cuts (military!military!military!), or he's willing to make massively massive debt even more massive

It is a nightmare. The founding fathers would be pissing in their soup.
Goodbye checks and balances, goodbye separation of powers. Hello stacked Supreme Court, hello one party state, cult of personality, stagnation decline and fall
