how about combining everything. first, put all potentials on an island, wait 2 weeks, and see who is still alive. those contenders then move on to "who wants to be the president" (with regis). The two highest money earners on that show both get to keep their money (the others must give theirs to the chinese, who deserve a return other than nuclear secrets for all the cash they've given us), and they then get to slug it out in a Don King certified boxing match ($4995.00 pay-per-view). That winner then has a choice to make-he can choose to become president but have the house and congress against him or he can play for the bonus-full control of the house and senate. the bonus is won if the candidate can first survive 2 weeks driving on the LA freeway and then two more weeks living in florida. should the candidate fail, martin sheen will become president.
I believe this idea has merit, as it will repay the chinese, earn money to help pay off our debt, provide weeks of entertainment, and, finally, be finished before the end of calendar year 2000. besides, it doesnt require an electoral vote
