New word of the day: Quasi-caved

Governor Palin during Vice-Presidential Debate (1:24)
"There have been times where, as mayor and governor, we have passed budgets that I did not veto and that I think could be considered as something that I quasi-caved in, if you will, but knowing that it was the right thing to do in order to progress the agenda for that year and to work with the legislative body, that body that actually holds the purse strings."

Would someone please introduce Gov Palin to the period? She gets away with it speaking but not on transcript.
