 Russ and Todd said they believe Tony and Giorgio are two different 
 people.  That in no way implies any other conclusion on their part 
 about what's going on.  In fact, Todd said, "Their motives for voting 
 are another matter."  About that matter, both Russ and Todd seem to be 
 suspending judgment for now, which I believe is wise. 
  
 It seems likely to me, though by no means absolutely certain,  that 
 the Stromboli voters are in the process of making a point.   I think 
 the point will become clearer in time.  It might be best not to get 
 too invested in a particular interpretation at this time.
