Ony 20 seconds left in the first half now. Coach McCain has inserted rookie Sarah Palin into the lineup after the time out. Shot clock is off. Huckabee brings the ball upcourt, crosses the half court line, dribbles to the right and throws the ball inside to Romney. Romney gets double-teamed, feels the pressure and outlets the ball to the right wing to Palin. Guiliani sets the screen, Palin fakes out Biden who falls on the floor. Palin steps back, only three seconds left now, she sets, she pumps, up goes the three and, it's good! Republicans take the lead! First half is over. Palin runs off the court straight to the locker room. McCain is pumping his fist on the sideline. What once seemed like an unsurmountable lead just a few minutes ago has evaporated. This hometown crowd is energized folks. The fans are chanting: "Barracuda, barracuda" As McCain heads to the locker room for halftime, he is smiling from ear to ear...
