The best analog I can think of for this year's presidential race is the old Monty Python skit "Upperclass Twit of the Year" with each uncoordinated doofus out-spazzing each other in the dash for the finish line. Honest-to-goodness, each one is more inept the the next, ad nauseum.

Now all they have to do here to win the title is to shoot themselves. Simon has a shot. Bad luck, he misses. Nigel misses. Now there's Gervaise, and Gervaise has shot himself- Gervaise is Upperclass Twit of the Year. There's Nigel, he's shot Simon by mistake, Simon is back up and there's Nigel, Nigel's shot himself: Nigel is third in this fine and most exciting Upperclass Twit of the Year Show I've ever seen.
