"Exciting" candidates that are "fun" to vote for and likely to drive the country into the ground -- or turn out to secretly be sober and moderate.

I know the least about these two, except for CMB's optional tax-paying. Hey, come to think of it, that puts her in line with most Repubs...

They both scare the shit out of me for different reasons. Gary is a crazy Jesus freak and Dick is a crazy protectionist. They also seem the most likely to be closet child molesters.
