Steve Schmidt, the campaign's chief strategist, defended Mrs. Palin in an e-mail exchange with The Times concerning, among other articles, a Newsweek report that at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., Mrs. Palin had greeted Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Salter in her hotel room while "wearing nothing but a towel, with another [towel] on her wet hair."

"The towel story categorically is not true," Mr. Schmidt told The Times in the course of telephone and e-mail exchanges over the weekend.

Charles L. Black, a close friend and senior adviser to Mr. McCain, said "no" to four of the following five questions posed to him by The Times:

"¢ Did she go "rogue" by refusing to tell anyone in the campaign she intended to talk up Barack Obama's ties with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers?

"¢ Did she direct staffers to buy on their credit cards clothes for her and/or her husband and/children? If so, did the McCain campaign find out only after aides asked for reimbursement?

"¢ Did she chat on the phone with a Canadian radio-show host who claimed to be French President Nicolas Sarkozy?

"¢ Did she have a concession speech ready to read on election night?

"¢ Did she not know that NAFTA was an agreement among the U.S., Mexico and Canada?

"Answer to all of this is no, except she was victim of hoax perpetrated by Canadian talk radio re Sarkozy," Mr. Black said. "Even then, she said nothing wrong in the call. We think she did an excellent job and added a lot to the ticket. 'We' includes John McCain."

Won't matter. The liberal hatemongers prefer the lies.

I wouldn't say 'lies', how about anything, real, imaginary, or a mix of both, that 'supports' their 'position'.

[fishnmagician]

certainly this is unheard of in politics,

a leak NEVER contains more truth than the official denial,

 

ever.

 

personally I don't care,

but if I was a betting man, I'd be wagering on the leaked story.
