In a recent poll at http://www.pottsmerc.com/, nearly 57% of voters believe GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin would beat Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in a game of one-on-one basketball.

Palin was a point guard on the basketball team in high school and led Wasilla High School in Alaska to the small-school championship in 1982. She was nicknamed Sarah "Barracuda" for her style of play.

Obama, you might remember from an earlier post, was shown rolling gutter balls in an appearance at a bowling alley in Altoona, Pa., during a campaign stop in March.
