These Feuds are exercises in cooperation. (Yes, they’re competitions, but we’re competing to see who cooperates best! :smiley: )

Given this, an obvious approach is to ask oneself “Is there an obvious criterion that co-operators could adopt, without any consultation?” In this Feud, recency suggests itself as such a criterion. (Indeed, subconsciously using that criterion may be why I missed Carter to go with Bush-41 :smack: )

I’m not worried that this observation will spoil future Feuds! Given my recent track-record, Dopers are likely to do the opposite of whatever septimus suggests! :dubious:

I think it would have been interesting to have a “no repeat answers” rule for this fued. It probably would have spread out some of the answers.

  2. Ford

Urgh…looks like I’m too late. I agree that “no repeats” would have forced interesting choices…where to put Kennedy, for example?

Arlington?
