Cis: How About Internet Candidate?

Cis/From A Simple Mind emails: "Have you and the group talked about American Select? The site that wants input from the public. Well, the computer connected public, anyway to find someone to run against the Republican and Democrat candidates. If they can find a good candidate, they will finance (I am sure they will be asking their list of people to help) the election for that candidate. So my question is ... how does the HBO group feel about it.. I know the R's and D's will not like it, but what about the rest? And how about you? I know you are a heavy leaner on the R's side, but over the years, you have listen to the middle of the road. How do you feel about this group (who ever is the backer of them) ... and the fact of finding some one thru the Internet?

Question: What do you think about the attempt by American Elect to bypass the two major political parties and promote a candidate that's in tune with what it thinks America wants?
