The Chicago Tribune's Frank James snarks:

Citing her right to privacy, Gov. Sarah Palin refused to say who she voted for after emerging from her polling place in Wasilla, Alaska.

That's right, she wouldn't say she voted for her own presidential ticket. We assume she did, but she stood on principle and wouldn't say. She did say the secret ballot is one of the "cool" things about the U.S.

Agreed.

It might seem odd that Palin didn't say whom she voted for until you remember there's a Republican convict--who's still revered by many Alaskans as a founding father of the state--running to be reelected senator. Little wonder she didn't want to open herself up to questions about Ted Stevens. The 'Cuda is smarter than you think.
