ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — 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 jogging 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.

Obama is a smoker. She’d crush him.

She’d probably come out ahead in part because she wouldn’t be taking cigarette breaks.

No doubt in my mind! She’s Danielle Boone and the other guy is Barney Fife without the sense of humor.

I think she would too. Palin would also have to constantly take on the media.

Nice doubling meaning in your statement, Governor ... it’s sure to get a rise out of the weasels on the left.

Palin could beat Obama in other ways, too.

I strongly encourage the President to move up to three or four packs a day.

“No wonder McCain loathes Palin.”

Why do you say that? He did pick her afterall. If he does in fact loathe her he has only himself to blame.

Why don’t we get mentions of the fact that Obama was a former cokehead?

She should have slammed for being a huf-n-puff smoker. She'd easily win a running event against Obama. Probably whip him in basketball too!
