GOOOH

GOOOH
The political equivalent of American Idol

There is a plan to evict the 435 politicians from the U.S. House of Representatives. These guys have developed a system and created a Web site that is going to make it happen. They call the system GOOOH (pronounced go).

I'll pronounce it Goo, thank you.  I began by gaming the member profile - phony name. etc., but while doing the candidate questionnaire I was struck by the genius of it all.  I am convinced that this is a mechanism by which we can rid ourself of the apparachniks who have us so firmly by the balls.  In a nut shell it works like this - I'll use one town as an example.  500 people in Annapolis  fill out the questionnaire, which places them in a pool of candidates.  The political profile of each candidate is published, and at some point, from all this will emerge two candidates who will run for congress in that district.  In other words, it's the political equivalent to American Idol. Check it out.  They claim they can have an effect on the 2008 election, but that's an overreach, but the 2010 cycle?  It can happen.

Interesting. I'm going to have to pick up a stick and poke at this thing a while. After that I might have something intelligent to say about it.
