ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she'd come out ahead if she went one-on-one with fellow jogger President Barack Obama in a long run, according to an interview published online Tuesday.

"I betcha I'd have more endurance," she told Runner's World magazine.

"My one claim to fame in my own little internal running circle is a sub-four marathon" in Anchorage, she said, referring to her 2005 sprint in the Humpy's Marathon in which she beat the four-hour mark by 24 seconds. "What I lacked in physical strength or skill, I made up for in determination and endurance," she said.

The president, who stays fit by starting his day with a workout in the White House gym, is better known for his passion for basketball and has been a frequent golfer in recent weeks. Obama, however, recently acknowledged that he hasn't completely kicked his smoking habit, telling reporters that he does still "mess up" on his pledge to quit smoking.

9. I agree
Keep her up front and center.

Better yet- let her be the stalking horse for Michelle Bachmann and Virginia Foxx.

29. No thanks.
If the GOP is the party of Palin and Bachmann, then either we're stuck with a one-party state or worse, a country where those nutjobs could conceivably take power.

3. She's such an amazing woman...
Amazing that with such little brain, she can retain motor control.

Amazing that someone can be too stupid to realize they're stupid.

Amazing that the M$M still hopes this turd in a tutu can compete in politics.

4. The main problem that Sarah Palin has with the
world is that she has no sense of humility. She is so in love with herself that she doesn't see how offensive the things are that she has to say.

I give her credit for being in such great shape, but she alienates even those who would compliment her for it by being so incredibly full of herself.

Basketball takes a lot of endurance too. I cannot imagine Obama allowing Palin to win.
"Humpies" marathon?

13. All together now. . .WHO GIVES A SHIT!?!?!?!
We elect president, Gidget, not joggers.

Can you imagine the debate? "Well, Obama fixed healthy care, but I can cook a better peach cobbler."

Hank Hill said it be: "As soon as I think you've said the dumbest thing possible, you keep right on talking."

14. If I were her, I wouldn't make that claim.
Sure, she's in good shape, but she's got too much muscle and short legs. Think back to high school. The best times and greatest endurance were always held by tall, thin, lanky guys. Who, oh WHO, does that sound like.

23. She'd fall for every trick the Road Runner pulled on Wyle E Coyote.
I can just imagine her smacking into a 'tunnel' painted on the side of a rock.

33. If she wants to be president she should challenge him to an IQ test
Edited on Tue Jun-30-09 09:32 PM by nini
Not to mention history, politics and other tests.

Otherwise, shut the fuck up already.
