Slowing down a political shell game so voters can follow it

To the Editor:

Did you ever see the guys at the carnival run the shell game. They were good. You put a pea under a shell and then they switch the shells around real fast and let you pick the one you think it is under. Which ever one you pick you will lose because while you were trying to follow the pea, they switched it out so there was no pea in any of the shells.
