    Chelsea Clinton

    Bill Clinton was a Rhode Scholar who studied at Oxford. Palin has had a passport for one year.

    And, Frankly, Chelsea Clinton is more intelligent, far more well traveled, far more knowable about world affairs, and yes, far more experienced than Mrs. Palin.

    Chelsea Clinton is way to beat Palin!
