The sad part is, the YEARS of hyper intense study that he had to undergo at the prodding of an intractable mother, which culminated in scholarships to Harvard and a professorship in constitutional law at the University of Chicago (as chronicled in his first book, one I cannot recommend highly enough: “Dreams of my Father”), passes unnoticed in Sarah Palin-land.

He is eloquent because he has read more words in his life than about 1/3 of the GOP *combined*. If that is something of an exaggeration, it is not too far off the mark.
