Watch Sarah Palin's sportcast below. Now imagine her staring down the likes of Vladimir Putin. I'm all for a woman president. While we preferred Obama, Hillary would have been a fine commander in chief. But Hillary spent her life in jobs preparing her for sitting in "the" chair. Sarah Palin did not. Watch the video:

Elizabeth Holmes reports from Toledo on the presidential race. Theres no two ways about it: Sarah Palin is an unconventional pick for a vice presidential candidate. The governor of Alaska is a former beauty pageant contestant and a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. New evidence of her eclectic résumé popped up Sunday, two days after John McCain selected her to complete his ticket....

Check out Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin as 24-year-old Sarah Heath, a sportscaster for KTUU-TV in Anchorage, Alaska, circa 1988. Does anyone else find Madam Governor’s voice really annoying? What do think of Senator McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin as a running mate?

By Capt. Fogg I continue to receive e-mails chastising me for not recognizing the obvious qualifications of Sarah Heath Palin to lead our country through difficult times: war, economic crises, natural disasters. True, I can see her at a G8 meeting asking "like what do you guys actually do?" I can see her negotiating with Putin or with North Korea over nuclear proliferation. I can just see her, glassy...

Props to DeadSpin for this classic video of Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, known as Sarah Heath in 1988, delivering the sports for KTUU-TV in Anchorage, Alaska. It’s safe to say that if McCain and Palin win the election in November the anchorman in this video is gonna mysteriously disappear. You can’t get snippy [...]

...your next vice president. This is an honest-to-God 1988 clip of Alaska Governor and Republican Vice Presidential running mate Sarah Palin as a 24 year-old sportscaster on Anchorage's KTUU. Ah, that brings back memories. Remember when we were all in our cross-eyed Marie Antoinette phase? I can't wait until the Republican party seizes on this as proof positive that Sarah Palin represents the Second...

Before she entered politics, way back in 1988, Sarah Palin was known as Sarah Heath. She was, as you may have heard, a sports anchor for KTUU-TV in Anchorage, Alaska. Video was bound to surface eventually; I'm actually surprised it took this long. It's not all that remarkable. She reads sports scores, makes less than snappy patter with an anchor that Deadspin describes as, "a weird amalgam of Ron...

James Dobson, who had said he would never vote for McCain, now says that with Palin on the ticket, “I would pull that lever.” I’ll bet he would, I’ll bet he totally would. H/T to Josh in comments for this 1988 video of sportscaster Sarah Palin. Is that an Alaska accent? I understand she got her very first passport last year. Today, Bush went to FEMA operation center in D.C. to give a message to the...

There's been a lot of discussion during the last couple of days regarding John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin for his VP pick. What is of interest to us, besides the fact she may be covering up her daughter's pregnancy , is that she used to be a sports anchor! Enjoy... (via Ball Don't Lie ) Still an interesting choice for VP, but still hot.
