Other Ways To Break an Impasse

Nine-year-old son, appropos of nothing: "When I get married, I plan to have the wedding in Hawaii."

Mother: "That sounds nice, but what if your fiancee wants to get married on a snowy mountaintop? How would you choose between the two?"

Son, in all seriousness: "We'd probably do rock, paper, scissors, shoot."

I am thinking this also could work for the Democrats.
