The buzz has some leading candidates going into the conclave. The doors close, the world is locked out, and the College of Cardinals gets down to duking things out in a process shrouded in mystery, which may or may not involve arm wrestling. A bunch of time will pass, and the Cardinals will amuse themselves by tossing different things, including leftover pasta from lunch, into the Very Sacred Furnace to see what color smoke comes out. When they accidentally get something that burns white smoke, they panic and draw straws to be able to decide who is really going to be the pope. And so, the winner is not always who the polls pick going into the vote.

You know, just like our Presidency.
