"My boy Pinochet disappeared thousands!" says Henry in a jocular fashion.

"Well, my guys in Honduras will beat that before you know it!" replies Hillary with a deprecating laugh.

They just divvy up the left/right/center positions.

'OK, I'll take pro-choice, you take -anti-abortion,"
" Deal."

"I'll take the LGBT crowd, you take the religious right."
" No, no I want the LGBT. My son just came out."
"Oh, ok ok. I'll take the religious right."

"How about I go after the 60-75 year olds?"
"Fine, I'll court Hispanics."

And on and on and on it goes..
