The political system teetered on the point of collapse until someone came up the idea with running someone who was extraordinarily average. So, Joe Abnego was selected on the basis of his amazing statistical averageness. He was wildly popular and won the election. <br /><br />The next election after that was won by a super-intelligent dog, hence the end of the reign of Homo sapiens sapiens.
