Inspired by a couple of things:
1. Crappy, mole infested, sound-bite type debates shunning half the candidtaes and polluted with irrelevant or stupid questions.
2. The feature of last night's debate where every candidate had an opportunity to present their own political commercial. Everyone was treated fairly, each had just one, all of the same length.
3. Posts with supposedly fantastic speech by RP.
How about each candidate get to air his/her best speech(es)/ They can be edited to include what they consider their best most powerful policy speeches, if necessary. Enough time can be had to develop/explain positions and solutions to more complicated issues. They get to choose what they wanna address and how they address it.
Could just be a time limit all must adhere to. Whether 15, 20 or 30 minutes.
Could be on TV, or could be made available on the web.
I'd like to hear what they had to say without interruption, without prodding, without a 30 second limit.
How about you?
