McCain in retreat: Says Obama didn't call Palin a pig.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Did Barack Obama really call Sarah Palin a pig, as a John McCain ad leads people to believe? "No," McCain said Monday. The Republican presidential nominee defended the ad anyway, saying Obama "chooses his words very carefully."
The implication: Obama was slyly up to something when he said McCain's call for change in Washington is "lipstick on a pig," days after Palin made a lipstick joke at the Republican convention.

"He's very eloquent," McCain told The Associated Press and Florida newspapers in an interview, and "it was the wrong thing to say."

I think this is an indication that Team McCain is beginning to worry about the growing chorus condemming their lies in this campaign.
