If I lived in the Midwest, they'd think I was a Democrat

As it is, there are more Democrats here so sometimes I appear to tilt Republican. For the record, I'm not aligned with either party.

I completely agree with the Democratic talking heads and (some of my friends) who have said that McCain's choice of Palin is condescending to women - if the GOP expects women to blindly vote for them based on gender.

By the same token, it's equally condescending to expect minorities to vote Democratic because there's a non-white male on the ticket.

Do the research and vote for a ticket that most closely aligns with your priorities and beliefs, not because of gender/race/attractiveness/height/etc.
Think for yourself, schmuck!

Fair enough.

Modify it to "vote for a ticket that you think will perform closest to your priorities and beliefs."

Either way, you are thinking about it rather than blindly lever-pulling by reflex.
