The most hotly-debated decision this year isn't Republican or Democrat. It's Turks and Caicos or Costa Rica.

In a social-experiment-slash-promotion, JetBlue promised an airplane full of passengers a free round-trip ticket to somewhere on JetBlue's route if they could "reach across the aisle" to unanimously decide on a destination.

Every single one of the 150 people on the plane had to agree on the destination — even row 21, who plays hardball and isn't in the pocket of powerful lobbyists. 

Teeth were gnashed, arguments were defended, chants were made ... and a point was proven. 

Happy election season, everybody.
