Perhaps the best way to elect a president is to turn the whole thing over

Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 01:42 PM by SoCalDem

to Publisher's Clearinghouse..

They already know where we ALL live, and mail carriers bring their literature to us, so why not just let us all vote by our very own "numbered" sweepstakes/ballot.. then feed them all through the many computers that already "know" who is legal and who is not..and they could announce the winner at half time at the Super Bowl or after that final winner on American Idol is announced ... or during the 7th inning stretch at the World Series... or the Prize Patrol could just show up at their house , with balloons & microphones & surprise them...

It would cost a lot less, and whomever ended up "winning" would probably do as good a job as anyone else..and there would be no cries of outrage over the counting mechanism..

8. Lewis Black did a great monologue on this...

something like the American Idol winner picking a place on the map, then sending a monkey up in an airplane from that spot, dropping him down with a parachute and the first person he touches will be the President..
