In one of Ball Don't Lie's last Barack Obama-basketball posts, we promised to find and share a clip of John McCain dunking from the free-throw line in the name of "leveling the political playing field." Unfortunately, such a video doesn't exist ... yet. So let's run this instead.
Via Deadspin's front porch, we have some hair-raising footage of McCain's new running mate, Governor Sarah Palin — then Sarah Heath — covering basketball, hockey, Tommy Lasorda and "lots of dogs" in 1988 for KTUU-TV in Anchorage, Alaska.
Boom goes the Iditarod!
Hey, look: Knicks lose! Some things never change!

Now that VP is chosen I'm voting for Palin for the President's job. Hillary is out, a woman has to get in, no matter who or what party.
I'm neither dem or rep, but a woman needs to occupy this office. As a man, equality of men and women affects every population and we need a strong sway in population for this equality more than ever, starting from the top.
Men have had their chance for the past 230 years; women need to step up to the positions of authority from this point on.
A Woman for the POTUS. Viva la Women.
Vote for a woman president please.
Viva La Madam POTUS
