Absolutely.  People make slips like these all the time, and reasonable listeners know how to distinguish a simple slip from deliberate deceit.  Slips and gaffes are practically inevitable in campaigns, with the long days, hectic schedules and minimal time for rest.  What counts, then is the ability of readers/listeners to digest and interpret what's said fairly, and decide if it's a slip or something else.  McCain has referred to the Czek Republic as Czekoslovakia a couple of times, and I'd write those of as slips.  However, when he and Palin continue to insist that she was the entity behind the cancellation of Gravina Bridge project, despite the clear evidence to the contrary, that's not a slip anymore.  That's plain and simple [[deceit]]. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 00:47, 10 September 2008 (EDT)
