This is unusual. If it has ever happened before, I've forgotten. A major party has two presidential candidates I think would make great presidents. And the media is treating both as though they might win. (For that to happen with even one candidate I support is, I think, a first.)

What does a citizen do in such a case?

I'm not eager to donate time or money to help them compete against each other. (Neither has yet attacked the other, but they must realize they're in competition for voters like me.) But I do want to support them in their competition against the rest of the field.

I don't expect anyone has a magic solution, but some of you smart people may have enlightening things to say.
