SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin seems to have switched colleges at least six times in six years, including two stints at the University of Idaho before graduating from there in 1987.

Palin, the governor of Alaska, was born in Idaho. Her family moved when she was only a few months old to Alaska, where she was raised.

According to a biography — "Sarah" by Kaylene Johnson — Palin and three friends went to the University of Hawaii at Hilo after graduation from high school in Alaska in 1982. But they left after a few weeks because of the constant rain there, the book said.

The registrar at Hawaii-Hilo has no record that she ever enrolled, school officials said Thursday.

Palin, then known as Sarah Louise Heath, and a friend then traveled to Honolulu and enrolled at Hawaii Pacific University, a private, nonsectarian school. She attended only as a freshman during the fall of 1982, school spokeswoman Crystale Lopez said.

Then she returned to Idaho, for spring 1986, fall 1986 and spring 1987, when she graduated. Despite her journalism degree, she does not appear to have worked for the college newspaper or campus television station, school officials said. She worked briefly as a sportscaster for KTUU in Anchorage after she graduated college.

1. Hmmm, can't stick to it, can she?

Wonder if it's laziness or a lack of brain?

and stomped out of class.

4. Probably flounced out too.

She does remind me of a three-year old in terms of her emotional stability.

3. Must be easily distracted from studying, reading, and deep thought.

9. C'mon..she was a looker..a cutie pie.. she went to have fun & meet guys

How she managed to get a degree,with all that transferring around is amazing to me.. Lots of schools do NOT "transfer" credits all that easily.. The Enquirer is probably digging into her "educational background"..

10. Many of us are that age.

The problem may be the people who aren't at least somewhat distracted at that age.
