Reality TV: The Election Show

I think our political elections should be run like a reality TV show. Put all the "contestants" on camera 24/7 for about a month before the election. Award Survivor-esque points, sum up their daily activities and assign them pointless tasks to gauge their skills for office. Once we're done, we'll have seen much more reality from these potential pollies than we ever get through their usual campaigns. It should be the only form of political advertising allowed. That way they can't put together a slick 30-second spot for TV slandering their opponents, but are forced to do it in person and look like a whiner.
