Despite recent rumblings that a comeback is possible, time is running out, pressure's on, and John McCain can feel his ventricles tightening. That's why Elisabeth Hasselbeck is hopping on board to relieve some of that (blood) pressure by introducing Governor Sarah Palin at a rally this Sunday in the critical state of Florida. Remember a time when Elisabeth Hasselbeck was Elisabeth Filarski, the cute chick on this strange new show called Survivor, whose hair was falling out from starvation?

She used to be so loveable that David Letterman even let her sit on his couch. Now, not even Alicia Silverstone will shake her hand. Hasselbeck's been a conservative pinup girl during The View's election-borne renaissance as a water-cooler show (the ladies at Jezebel are big fans). And she'll be there on Sunday, introducing Palin while being ogled by hockey moms and soccer dads alike. Hopefully her praise for the VP candidate will be rehearsed, so she doesn't mess it up again. This oughta make Joy Behar one angry yenta.
