Yes, indeed, the Republicans are good at order. My girlfriend and I joke about this sort of thing; in law school, she was involved in National Lawyer's Guild, which is pretty far left (it used to be the communist lawyer's society); I was involved in the Federalist Society, and a few of our friends were involved in the ACLU. The Federalist Society was very well organized; the liberal organizations were not at all organized.

But I *like* having a President and Vice-President who don't always agree with each other. Better than the one just being a rubber stamp; helps prevent groupthink.
