Split Ticket

Here is the poll showing Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens trailing his challenger by two points, 47-45, and here is what I imagine would be Sen. Stevens’ response to that news.  The interesting thing is that just a little over two-thirds of McCain supporters said they would vote for Stevens.  That is a pattern I expect we will be seeing in many of the competitive races this year.
