Thanks for posting the full text of her statement.
That was only an excerpt, although more than the AP piece. Here is the full text:

... and I wouldn't put her in the Arnold category. I contributed to the McCain campaign only after he chose her. I saw her on the campaign trail in person. Stood in line for hours in Findlay, Ohio to do so.
I still may vote for her... I'm just disappointed that she either thinks she has to pander, even in the slightest, to the Left or that she doesn't really understand how global warming is a hoax in the fullest extent. That it was created only to push an economic system via another means because the fallacious concepts and the factual and historical disasters wherever it was tried was too embarrassing for liberal/progressives to promote explicitly in an upfront manner. Global warming is their current 'workaround'. It was Global cooling before that and it will be something else in the future.
