I was getting ready to hold my nose and vote for McCain, mainly due to the Palin selection. However, McCain's speech tonight, a condemnation of his own party, has convinced me otherwise. For the first time in over 40 years, I will be leaving the office of President blank. I will continue to vote a straight Rep ticket as always. If John McCain, the self-described maverick, can vote on the basis of principle and conscience over party, why can't I?

When did McCain say that he wasn't voting a straight Republican ticket?

You're the one who isn't doing that.

McCain’s votes in Congress on big issues show that he puts his own views over loyalty to party. In his speech last night, he repeatedly made that point.
