Palin: I'd come out ahead in run against Obama

By MARY PEMBERTON, Associated Press Writer Mary Pemberton, Associated Press Writer – 35 mins ago

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. What I lacked in physical strength or skill, I made up for in determination and endurance."

Palin, a 45-year-old former beauty queen who became the first woman and youngest person to be elected Alaska's governor, is featured in the August issue of the magazine for running aficionados. She was dubbed the country's "hottest" governor when she stole the show as U.S. Sen. John McCain's presidential running mate in 2008.

"I feel so crappy if I go more than a few days without running. No matter how rotten I feel before or during a run, it's always worth it to me afterward. Sweat is my sanity," Palin tells the magazine.

snip...
"When I run, I'm totally incognito because I'm not wearing a trough full of makeup. I can go running through a mob of tourists and they don't recognize me," Palin said.

16. It proves my point in another thread about her where a DU'er said she was attractive

with that much make-up, anybody can appear attractive. It's effectively a mask.

[Smarmie Doofus]

8. Oh.. she's talking about foot racing. I was going to say.......

"time to get the room ready at the nervous hospital".

9. Her voice alone will turn people off.

I can't listen to her for 1 second.

10. Good for her. Who gives a shit?

In this context is "Who gives a shit" a question or a statement?

Seems like in the rhetorical sense it's not really a question.

19. Seriously +1

Absolutely no one but about 20% of the US population cares about that and probably none of them are out there jogging but sitting on their lardass whining and teabagging.

She could have an edge in a long run if she doesn't.

[Bobbie Jo]
