K8's Big Idea....
The experts [who ever they are] say that this upcoming presidential race will be the most exciting and important one we’ve ever seen. Maybe so. However I think they need to revamp the election race. Here’s what I’m thinking needs to be done.
The only way we get to know the candidates is to see them in debates. This has always bothered me. What does watching a debate tell us about the candidate or how they would be running the country? It’s not like they have to debate once they’re president. So here’s what I purpose:
This idea came to me last night as I was flipping channels and found that my TV has been taking over by reality shows. I’m thinking that we need to put the candidates running for the presidency on a reality type show. Throw certain circumstance, like those they would face as president and see how they handle them. See them in the “confessionals” see how they relate with others.
Now all I need is a title.

Ooohh good idea Kate!
I'd love to see Hilary go off. I like her. Many people don't. But I do.
Like get 'em all drunk and have the big red button sitting there-who pushes it first?
well there you go!!
FINALLY someone with and idea!!
love it, k8.
love it.
:)
That sounds like a good idea, however I propose we go with Wanda Sykes plan: pick someone at random and tell them they're it. It would be like Jury Duty. We can't do much worse than W, and the person selected would likely be guaranteed not to want the job.
Kate...God Damn you got something here!
Baby, this has wings! Sure let's start with the Presidential Race, I love that angle.
I say we start with the Primaries....
Let's see...there was the Real World, The Surreal World, Survivor, Big Brother, The Simple Life, Being Bobby Brown, So You think you can Dance...
hmmmmm.....
How about we put all the Republicans in a log cabin in Arkansas...no wait, let's put them two canoes going down a river and let them deal with the local hillbilly rednecks....we will call this show "Squeal Like Pig World".
Now the Democrats...let's put all the male canidates in a high security Federal Prison and see how well they do dealing on a close contact basis with the real evil side of humanity...We can highlight each canidate..first week "My Bitch Kucinich" Follow a canidate and an inmate all around a 10 by 12 foot cell for a week. WOW is all I got.
Since we have only one woman running let's try this...how does multi-culturalism work in close quarters with say a Rich White Lady (Hillary) and the gangsta girls from the Barrio? (that might have to be on cable..late at night)...note: possible show for Bravo "Hillary Street Blues"
well it's a start.....I say we try and get a meeting...over at FOX they love this shit.
(I may have to pursue this further as a post...good call Kate)
too bad "the amazing race" has already been taken... so has "survivor"... if i come up with an idea, i'll let you know!
I want to see them eat animal testicles!
Kate... I needed you last night... there was a bug in the house!
That would be pretty funny! That's one reality show I'd actually watch!
It would be funny to see Hillary on one. Everybody would have to choose a partner for a race and the only people left would be her and Monica Lewinsky.
I think that is pretty cool...we could let the audience whittle them down to the final two or so that could go to the primaries...
Title: American Idiot?
Winner: = Loser
First Prize: = One Way ticket to Iraq?
They should have to pay to participate as well. LOL!
Cool idea, K8ie. The best way to know if they'd be qualified would be if they didn't know they were on the TV... like The Truman Show.

and pitch your idea!
Jerrster: YES!!! We should collaberate!!!
Anthony: I checked it out and I wanted to post my idea on there....however it's 39.99$ to do so.... DAMN.
I love the idea K8 !
I could only come up with "White House of Blues" for a title. I feel sorry for whoever gets the job, It's a no win situation and we as a people are only becoming more and more divided......When will we be united again and not draw such hard line stands against anything and everything that a president tries to accomplish ?
"Can't we all just get along"? There you go we'll get Rodney King to host your show !
Brilliant !
Jon Stewart for President.
The end.
A reality presidential show? That is an awesome idea.
