I didn't think I was random, I'm as routine as they come, and usually predictable. Interesting that you see me as the wild card. ;)

you want a President and Vice President whose policies have some areas of agreement.

BTW did you deliberately pick a President whose icon practically scream, "We're all fucked!" ???

New I understand exactly what...
you mean.

Dan-O and You are what you would call a Bi-Polar Ticket.

It was intentional. As we know that all of the candidates promising to fix everything to make John Q. Public all safe and secure is just plain not going to happen, not now... especially in 4 years.

Dan, with his Optimistic Pessimism about how we are all screwed, coloring his decisions to make the right choice to save his butt, at the same time saving the countries butt.

You on the other hand, are an eternal pessimisticly challenged optimist. You are able to see the 35 ends somethings have. And pull out the Kernel of information in the morass of info.

There are many reasons I picked everyone for the positions they would fill.

You'll notice *I* am not in there...
