Correct, McCain's views toward alternative energy has changed with Palin on the ticket. This is probably why he made that part of her duties.
McCain came forth and said he comments were not what his campaign made them out to be. He stands by the fact Obama shouldn't have said it.
That's the problem with politics and this election, you can take any statement and make out of it what you want. Look at Obama using the part where McCain says the economy is fundamentally strong, he leaves out the next sentence which makes McCain look like a goof...
It is bad enough to be off topic. It is worse to avoid the real issue that you said things that aren't true and are not taking responsibility for them. But now
you go and make no sense with a completely silly sentence.
