Well, the problem with your last comment is probably that Mickey mouse won
almost all of them lately.  When TV presence is the determining factor it
blind chance that determines the rest of the package.  The rest has really
be something, or rather nothing, lately [i.e., since the start of TV driven
elections.

At least you started out with some faith in the US system.  Oh, well, laws
and sausages...
