Very good points. I read the link and remember her stating her concern about the Darfur crisis. I should have acknowledged that point. I’m being a stickler for the detail...I think something happened and would put it into the minor category like you have but that’s not the same as denying anything happened.
I think you’re right that someone twisted an honest glitch and took a minor point out of context, but I believe it was someone in the camp who did that and was in the framework of other things this person didn’t like about SP. They won’t come forth because their political future with the republican party would be toast. They betrayed the party by telling Cameron. Cameron is a reporter so of course when they made a point to tell him, they crossed a line.
I’m sure they (staff) all played hard, left what they had on the field and were emotional and drained afterwards - in the midst of being consumed with woulda, coulda, shoulda, someone was ticked about the SP choice and held her responsible. It was McCain’s show and those who loved McCain may not have loved SP.
Had they won, they would have been all celebration and no regrets/backstabbing.
And that's where my problem lies. If it was the source that lied/twisted it, Cameron has to disclose it. If Cameron was the one twisting it, he is the culprit and a weasel for not admitting it.
but that’s not the same as denying anything happened.
What didn't happen is that "Palin doesn't know that Africa is a continent". This is what Cameron said and this is what is false. Whether she made a minor verbal glitch during a conversation is not an issue here. By no stretch would it justify the claim.

Yup. No doubt about that.
