Palin conceding defeat?
Looked at Palin's speech "Pitch #3" just up on TPM main page. Is it just me or did she sound more like she was arguing for a split government, acknowledging that Obama was likely to be president, and asking for some support in the House & Senate?
PS - as long as the Supreme Court is still 5 republicans, it's "divided government"...

I couldn't listen to her for more than a few seconds. Her voice is really grating. But it sounded like she was conceding the Congress to the Democrats and warning to vote for her (never mind the old man) to save real people from those radical liberals.

After the prank call she fell for today, she may as well concede. Major embarrassment. Epic fail. Listen to it if you can, I could only read the transcript.

At the same rally, the signs only said "Florida is Palin Country!" There were NO McCain signs:
Question: What's Missing from the Palin Rally in Fla?
Answer: Any mention of John McCain

POLK CITY, Florida (CNN) — At a boisterous Sarah Palin rally in Polk City,
Florida on Saturday afternoon, one name was surprisingly absent from the
campaign décor — John McCain’s.
Looking around the Fantasy of Flight aircraft hangar where the rally took place,
one could see all the usual reminders that it was a pro-McCain event. There were
two large “Country First” banners hung on the walls along with four enormous
American flags meant to conjure the campaign’s underlying patriotic theme. Many
of the men and women in the audience wore McCain hats and t-shirts.
But on closer inspection, the GOP nominee’s name was literally nowhere to be
found on any of the official campaign signage distributed to supporters at the
event.
Members of the audience proudly waved “Country First” placards as Palin
delivered her stump speech. Those signs were paid for by the Republican National Committee.
The other sign handed out to supporters read “Florida is Palin Country,” but
those signs were neither paid for by the Republican National Committee nor the
McCain campaign. In small print, the signs were stamped with the line “Paid for
and authorized by Putnam for Congress" — as in, the re-election campaign of
Florida congressman Adam Putnam, whose district skirts Polk City.
In fact, Putnam’s name was considerably more prominent than was McCain’s — his
campaign had placed a number of large “Putnam for Congress” banners around the
event site.
