John McCain’s campaign is still fighting for Florida’s electoral votes. So it’s sending in its big gun, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, this weekend to campaign on the race’s second-to-last Sunday.

And Palin, in turn, is calling in Elisabeth Hasselbeck, a co-host on ABC’s televised morning coffee-klatsch, ‘The View.’ It may have something to do with the all-important female vote.

Hasselbeck, the token conservative and McCain supporter on the female panel of talkers, announced that the Arizona senator’s campaign had called and invited her to introduce Palin at some Sunshine State rallies this Sunday.

‘I am more than honored to be invited,’ she said. ‘So I’ll be flying there to travel with her and meet some pretty interesting people, I have a feeling,’ said Hasselbeck, whose husband, Tim , is a professional football quarterback.

She promised to tell some stories on Monday’s show.

The subject turned to what Hasselbeck was going to wear, which she said was undecided. The ironically named Joy Behar, an outspoken Barack Obama supporter, suggested a Hefty bag with shoulder pads.
