    I'm not satisfied with leaving the decision to 200 idiots in Florida. There should be some other way to pick our new leader.

    I nominate: steel cage death match, or armwrestling. Anyone else with suggestions?

    Steel Cage deathmatch is definitely the way to go. It would be the biggest selling pay-per-view of all time. Should I try to get Don King's phone number?

    2 ideas from the Simpsons (of course):
    Truth-telling contest ("The Canine Mutiny")
    Grammar Rodeo ("Bart On the Road")

    Well, every four years, the poor wannabe first ladies are expected to participate in an inane cookie bake-off (remember the stink when Hillary didn't want to do it?)

    Why not subject the men to a masculine equivalent -- a barbeque competition.

    But Bush would have to watch it though.

    More suggestions:

    Drinking contest (though Bush may have an unfair advantage)

    Essay contest - Why should you be elected president? (in 500 words or less).

    Yahtzee!

    Whoever can win "The Silent Game" would be my preference.

    First one to fire all their advisors, i.e. Daley and Rove.

    Hey, this is a basketball fan site, so I propose a half-court game of NBA (i.e. national bureaucratic @$$holes) 2-ball featuring Gore-Lieberman vs. Bush-Chaney.

    First to 25 (number of Florida's electoral votes).

    No recounts or redo's.

    No blood, no foul.

    PSJ,

    Its all good! Maybe I should have thrown one of those smilies in the title to let people know it wasn't meant to be serious. [​IMG] <---instant wackiness

    Thanks for sending some posts my way on your thread. I like the instant replay idea, but the decision would probably take just as long!

    LaunchPad,
    Good idea, but with Cheney's past heart problems, and after watching Gore jogging with his family and trying to play football with them, I bet that the game to 25 would take longer than a recount of the entire US [​IMG]

    Launch Pad...just think of the movie opportunity for Hollywood. They could call it..."These White Men Really Can't Jump"! [​IMG]
