Topic: I have a great idea! | |

Why don't they change the voting to be 'American Idol' format... check this out..
Let's say we are voting for President of the United States. Let Paula, Randy and Simon narrow it down to 12 democrats and 12 republicans (or maybe a more qualified panel of judges.) Then we eliminate a person from each party every week based on their performance on a number of tasks that would simulate the presidents job.. when it gets down to 12 we merge the 2 groups and continue to eliminate one each week until there is only 1 left. anyone with me on this idea as a way to generate interest in politics? or am I drinking too much? |

Just think how funny it would be to have simon tear into them for lame policy ideas and then we all get to call in our vote each week..

Why not? When one considers the delegates, the super delegates, the caucuses and all the rest, your idea doesn't seem so far out. However, one problem .... I don't think Simon is an American citizen. |

I don't think Simon is an American citizen. yeah, the current system in place is pretty stupid. Even the way debates are done are horrible. mostly boring and lacking any real substance or information. You'd think we could learn from some of these 'public vote' reality shows. |
