Independent

I guess, given the political place the United States is in right now, the time for an under qualified, undereducated, rich president has past. Now, it's time for America to help choose its president through the help of TV and MySpace. I've heard some pretty screwed up ideas about ways to select a president without having some dumb, rich, out-of-touch, out-of-reality person ending up in power, but this one may actually work. Mark Brunett (Survivor, The Apprentice, etc.) is teaming up with MySpace to help launch the next independent race for the presidency. You can become a contender by creating a site on MySpace and announcing your intentions to become president. This will end up being aired on some unnamed station in 2008.

Ofcourse the winner will get a million dollars to either donate, or use for their own political campaign. Something tells me that if this is done right it will be very good for the States. It'll spur people to get up and vote, it will allow people who would make great candidates the reach and financial backing to actually have a chance, as well as bringing the race for presidency down to a level that people can understand. Up until now, the whole political landscape has been littered with well-spoken freaks who believe so passionately in their causes that they'd be willing to slap-down anyone who opposed them. These elitist politicians have not only made it hard for the regular working-class person to get involved, but they've made it pretty uninteresting. Even if this show fails, it should be interesting. I think having a creative president would kick ass, even though I'm Canadian.

You think Clinton and Gore will have a MySpace page?
