We don't report political news here unless it's clearly also basketball news, but this morning brings a bit of both: Angie Paccione, a Stanford Cardinal alum who in 1984 played for the short-lived WABA, is now running for Congress in Colorado.

Paccione (D), a teacher and state legislator, is running against incumbent Marilyn Musgrave (R), who recently called same-sex marriage "the most important issue that we face." (Musgrave opposes it.)

Today Paccione picked up an enthusiastic endorsement from the Denver Post.
