(H/T Daily Kos)

1980 - 1984
Obama: B.A. in political science with a specialization in international relations from Columbia University.

Palin: Wasilla High School, captain of the state-champion basketball team. Miss Wasilla, runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant, also Miss Congeniality, although that is now disputed.
Him: Ivy League degree. Her: tiara.

1985 - 1990
Obama: moved to Chicago; became a community organizer as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization on Chicago's far South Side. During his three years as the DCP's director, its staff grew from 1 to 13 and its annual budget grew from $70,000 to $400,000, with accomplishments including helping set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants' rights organization.

Waiting for McCain, Waiting for Gustav

August 29, 2008 by admin

While the McCain veep watch is nowhere near as fun as the Obama veep watch, the latest is that Romney is in Boston, Pawlenty is in St. Paul, and Sarah Palin is home in Alaska. Funny thing, no one seems to be tracking McCain. He's supposed to be on his way to Dayton, but I haven't heard anything.

While waiting for the announcement, we're also all watching Gustav. The path has not changed appreciably since the last time Matt posted the map. Haley Barbour, co-chair of the RNC Convention Committee has returned to Mississippi, where he's governor. Bobby Jindal is back in Lousisana where he is governor. And while there is fun in citing all the Republican candidates who have begged off the GOP convention next week for being "too busy", it's right and proper that leaders in potential devastation zones go home to prepare.
