refudidate is not a word that Palin made up. I’ve seen it used elsewhere. Its common usage

Notice they’re comparing her to Obama and Bush. Both US Presidents. Funny that

Well, if it isn’t just a simple type, then it could be a construct like “proffer” (Legal term combining “proof” and “offer” = “offer of proof.”)

I think she merged two words, repudiate and refute. She probably meant refute. But then again my major was in Engineering and writing was a necessary evil course. Still I would have used spell check.

Perhaps; but if she could speak it in Austrian in all 57 states, now THAT would be something!

You’ve heard repudiate. Not refudiate.
