No, not me - the person in this story by D.C. McAllister:

I reached for my wallet and pulled out a $10 bill. I cracked the window just enough to slip him the money. He reached for it, but before I handed it to him, I asked, “Hey, who did you vote for in the last election for president?”
He looked a little taken aback. I could see the rusty wheels turning. He glanced at my car, at me. I don’t drive anything special, and I wasn’t wearing a suit. Probably hard for him to measure me up either way.

“Did you vote?” I asked him impatiently. I sensed the light was about to change.

“Yeah, I voted. I voted for Obama.”

I pulled back the bill. “Sorry, dude. You should’ve voted for Romney.”

This diary is inspired by a post from Daniel Larison, who writes:

I mean, how has no one made this point already? McCain provides the basic policy trajectory of a third Bush term, and Palin provides the biography of a folksy pro-life "reformer with results" governor of a large, oil-rich reliably Republican state in the West–it is pretty close to the Bush/Cheney ticket in reverse, isn’t it?

Isn't that the PERFECT point for Obama and Biden to make? All McCain and Palin have done is to reverse the Bush/Cheney ticket, and try to pitch it as something different.
