"McCain came into conflict with higher-ranking personnel, he did not always obey the rules, and that contributed to a low class rank (894 of 899), despite a high IQ." you imply that his ranking was based solely on his academic performance. but did you actually read the rest of the sentence you got that from??

“McCain came into conflict with higher-ranking personnel, he did not always obey the rules, and that contributed to a low class rank (894 of 899), despite a high IQ.”

Look it up." I don't doubt you - but I do doubt the "knowledge" of such people, like the elitists that permeate our higher education. They should know more than anyone else that nothing good ever comes from the government being in charge of more and more things - and history proves that. I don't look to government to solve all my problems. I take control of my own life. "Compare that to McCain's fairly abysmal educational record. What a joke." So, you provide an objective snippet of Obama's educational record, and then want me to compare that to your completely unobjective statement about McCain's? Right. “People who’ve completed university and people with PhDs voted more for Obama than McCain. Look it up.”

People who've completed university and people with PhDs voted more for Obama than McCain. Look it up. Obama went to Harvard Law and was a professor of constitutional law.
