The political process naturally weeds out some of the people who don't care enough to research the candidate they're voting for. Infact, I remember, when I was in college, one of my professors told me that he was once approached by a woman at the voting place, and she noticed he was a professor, and asked him about the candidates, so she could make an informed decision. Anyway, my point is that, while this is a good idea, it doesn't need to be presidential. A position like President doesn’t need to be handed off like this.

If you make the pasta salad: I combined the dill and parmesan with the other dressing ingredients...not sure whether that makes a difference or not, but it made more sense to me that way.
