Sarah Palin‘s doodles, which were scribbled in 1996 when she was running for mayor of Wasilla, and President-elect Barack Obama‘s doodles, which were purchased on an Ebay auction in May, 2007, for $2075, have been analyzed by a graphologist.

And what did the handwriting expert have to say?

According to graphologist Sheila Kurtz, the Obama doodle shows he is “economical, clear and to the point,” while Palin’s doodle indicates she is “smart, but scattered and all over the place.”

The Palin doodles, a mish mash of campaign slogans written on the back of a budget document, were discovered in a box of odds and ends saved by former colleague and campaign manager Laura Chase.

The Obama doodle depicts Senators Charles Schumer, Harry Reid, Dianne Feinstein and Edward Kennedy.
