You can't say you were cleared of all wrongdoing. Sarah Palin:

And why haven't you released a statement saying that Todd was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party? Steve Schmidt:
Because that would be untrue! He was a member. Sarah Palin:
He checked the WRONG BOX! He registered BY ACCIDENT and rectified the error immediately! Steve Schmidt:
He was a member for SEVEN YEARS! I'm sorry, Governor, but there is only a few weeks left in this campaign and you have got to stop saying things to the press that are blatantly untrue; that is NOT the kind of campaign that we are running here! Sarah Palin:
[scornfully]
Campaign? Is that what you're calling this... [starts leaving for rally] Steve Schmidt:
Governor, I admit that this is a dysfunctional campaign, but THAT is what I inherited And I am doing my level best to help us win this election! Sarah Palin:
[turns around]

Oh, OH! And I am raising millions of dollars for this campaign; hundreds of thousands of people are coming to see ME speak! Not John McCain, God bless him, they are coming to see me! SO, if I am single-handedly carrying this..."campaign"... [drops voice] Sarah Palin:
I'm gonna do what I want!
