Oh my has he fallen into McCain's trap big time. What next, Obaby - gonna challenge her to a Trivia contest?
I'm deeply worried about the corrupt machine, voter fraud and the hordes of operatives making up shit about the Palins - not to mention the machinations in AK to try to indict her for Tasergate. But then thin-skinned O swaggers out to defensively insist he could take her on the court and I feel a little more optimistic about our chances in Nov. |
ABC News' George Stephanopoulos Reports: The rivalry between the Democratic and Republican tickets for president could shift from the ballot box to the hardwood if Barack Obama has his way.
In an exclusive interview airing this morning on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," the Democratic nominee for president said he would be open to going one-on-one in basketball with Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
"You know, I would play her a game of horse," said Obama. "She looks like she's got some game." | Could be. She took her team to a state championship in high school and is in better shape after 5 kids than Obama after a light schedule as a legislator who hasn't done much heavy lifting in the last umpteen years |
Palin was a standout high school basketball player whose skills on the court earned her the nickname Sarah Barracuda. But Obama said he doesn't fear her. "On the basketball court, I think I'd stand up pretty well," he said. Standing upright is the first step, true 'nuff. | After that you would need to be able to run, dribble, shoot and deal with sharp elbows though. |
Sill, Obama said he wouldn't want to go head-to-head with Palin in another sport: target shooting. "I know she's a sharpshooter, and I know that -- I probably wouldn't do target practice with her," he said. "I think she'd be a better shot than me." | I doubt you know which end of a gun to hold, sweetie. |
The idea of an Obama-Palin basketball matchup was suggested by Linda Lilley, a viewer from Union City, Pa., who submitted her question for Obama on abcnews.com. |
