I went on Google, typed "s" in the search field, and the first suggestion on the automatic drop-down list from Google is "Sarah Palin". Spooky. How the heck did Google know I was looking for info on her?
I was indeed looking for her educational background. Here is info from Wikianswer:
Google again put John McCain first when I typed "J" in the search field. Hmm... Below is also from wikianswers:

Five year for a B.S.Palin attended Hawaii Pacific College in Hilo, Hawaii, in 1982 for a semester, where she majored in Business Administration, and transferred in 1983 to North Idaho College for the 1983-1984 school year. After winning a scholarship, she transferred to Matanuska-Susitna College in Alaska for one term before transferring back to the University of Idaho the following year where she finished out her college education and received a Bachelor of Science degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987, where she also minored in political science.

Oddly enough, when I typed in "g" or "b", Google did not show GWB's name on the first page of the suggestion list.John McCain earned his BS at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He graduated in the bottom 0.5% of his class, barely graduating. He now jokes about how poorly he did in school. After returning from Vietnam he went to the National War College in Washington, D.C.
From Wikipedia:
Bush attended Phillips Academy, an all-boys private high school in Andover, Massachusetts, where he played baseball and during his senior year was the head cheerleader.
Following in his father's footsteps, Bush attended Yale University from 1964 to 1968, receiving a Bachelor's degree in history in 1968. As a college senior, Bush became a member of the secretive Skull and Bones society. By his own characterization, he was an average student.
In May 1968, Bush enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard.
In 1970, Bush applied to but was not accepted into the University of Texas School of Law in 1970. In late 1972 and early 1973, he drilled with the Alabama Air National Guard, having moved to Memphis to work on the unsuccessful U.S. Senate campaign of Republican Winton M. Blount.
Beginning in the Fall of 1973, Bush attended Harvard University, where he earned a MBA.
