Can we run a Virtual Online Candidate, a Composite that Represented Most Americans?
We could use the web for the campaign, complete with position planks, and 30 sec videos to get the positions out.

We could also do polls, that rank the virtual candidate against the other candidates, virtual debates, and then finally an online election.

I think it could be a potentially useful/creative way to get an alternative message out, one that is able to break out from the beltway/elite status-quo boundaries, that are current process is confined to, and that better represents what most americans care about, if done right.

if really done right, it would force the debate to broaden, and make it more difficult for the rich to take a walk in the friendly M$M park to high office.

What do you think?

I am obsessed with thinking of ways to get our real concerns represented without being bashed and/or ridiculed, and our practical ideas for change that would actually address our issues, and not just the elite's special interests.

:hi:
