Campaigning in Clearwater, FL today, Sarah Palin said something rather weird. Speaking about energy policy, she talked about Florida's potential energy sources, saying, "God has so richly blessed you here!" She saw potential for wind and solar power generation in the Sunshine State, and renewed a call for oil drilling off Florida's coast. Now granted, that wasn't as weird as Joe Lieberman's introduction of Palin, in which he said that she would win the election "with God's help."

Over the weekend, McPalin debuted their new strategy.

You knew this was coming.

They pull a knife, you pull a gun.

Sarah Palin can see Afghanistan from her window.

Top Gun? Not so much.

Obama hits all-time high at 538.

Wingnut ideas fail in free market.

Palin's in FL; McSame's in NM.

With just a month left and trailing in the polls, the McSame campaign has decided their only chance is to attack Obama's character.

Just like Kathleen Parker.
