"We're just about to select a new governor of Connecticut. In the old days politicians used to come to power through a process of election rather than selection. Nowadays of course we know nobody's any better at the job than anybody else. Folks never really believed it made any difference anyway. All elections did was made sure nobody got too big for their britches, become a tyrant or something like that. Our process does that every bit as well and it saves a whole lot of time and money."
