You have to admit if it was from the McCain camp then it was a pretty clever move.

If? The editor admitted he was.

If, meaning if he was part of the select few who knew that Palin was going to be the pick

Where did you see this fact. There is no such "admission" in the article.

You apparently didn't read it to the end:
YoungTrigg was a user name picked for this task; for other editing, he or she chooses other names: “I will acknowledge that I volunteer for the McCain campaign, one of thousands of people nationwide who are working to elect the best candidate for the job. Palin was not the nominee when I made my edits, though I am certainly excited about the selection. I don’t believe I have a conflict of interest problem.”
That said, nobody will be hearing from YoungTrigg again anytime soon. On the bottom was a black-bordered box surrounding the word “retired.”
