The subject / object casing is debated in this situation. I side with people who prefer to use the nominative case.
"I am smarter than she."
This is because the clause should be assumed to be incomplete:
"I am smarter than she is."
Because you would use the nominative case with indicatives of "to be," (i.e., am, are, is) you would also use it in this sit
