    @Kingbreaker

    This is the very first time anyone has tried to answer the questions I posed (I've asked them elsewhere to no avail). Thanks for taking the time to come up with some thoughtful observations/guesses/insights. I believe this campaign would have proved far less rancorous if far more of these exchanges could have taken place. I've found myself in the very odd position of fighting tooth and nail with people whose political philosophy pretty much coincides with mine, and this alienation has proved painful. I've always believed that rational people would save the world. Thank for being rational here.
