Viewing the candidates as risk managers

After one of the most chaotic political primary seasons that we've seen in many years, election season began early this time around. It promises to be one of the most entertaining in decades as we head towards the respective national conventions in late summer. The candidates are touting "change" as one of the central themes for their campaigns, but I must say that a more appropriate word might be "choice." I doubt that there has ever been a more diverse field of candidates.
