Two weeks ago we noticed Angie Paccione, who is running for Congress in Colorado: if elected, she would be the first pro women's basketball player in the U.S. House. Paccione's opponent, Marilyn Musgrave, may be the most anti-gay member of Congress.

Musgrave's ads have made Paccione's financial troubles, related to the collapse of Bill Byrne's WBA, into a campaign issue.

Paccione began the campaign as a long shot; a new poll gives her a slight lead.
