in my lifetime the obvious choice never wins

Heck, in my lifetime nobody's been elected Pope.

I've lived through 2 of them, but do not remember them because I was 3 years old.

Let's see, John Paul The Great ascended to the Chair of Peter in 1978. That made me a whopping three years old. :)

I was born under the Papacy of PiusXII.
I was about 10 years old when my godmother explained
the Papal elections to me and I recall being intrigued
waiting for the white smoke.
