It's no secret that I like Sarah Palin better than John McCain. And as an occasional third-party voter, I roll my eyes at the argument that if I don't vote for the Republican I'm really voting for the Democrat even if I did not in fact pull the lever for the Democrat. But this missive that arrived in my inbox is a bit much to take: "A vote for Sarah is not a vote for McCain!"

Umm, unless you write her in, yes, by definition it is. They don't allow that kind of ticket-splitting.

John McCain, Sarah Palin
