Sarah Palin: Africa is a continent?

Fox News reported on the internal strife, saying "There was great concern in the McCain campaign that Sarah Palin lacked the degree of knowledge-ability necessary to be a running mate, a vice president, a heartbeat away from the presidency.

"We are told by folks that she didn't know what countries were in NAFTA ... We're told that she didn't understand that Africa was a continent, rather than a country just in itself."

Watch the Fox News piece:

Palin responded to the claims in Arizona on Wednesday morning, saying that "there is absolutely no diva in me."

Later in the day, she refused to address the strife within the campaign. "I have absolutely no intention of engaging in any of the negativity because this has been all positive for me," she said, adding that it was time to savor President-elect Barack Obama's victory and "not let the pettiness or maybe internal workings of a campaign erode any of the recognition of this historic moment."
