Awesome Idea for My Fellow PF Fans

[12th Doctor]

Guys, i just got an awesome idea.  The creature of President Forever is accepting senarios from others so they can be put on the website and distributed.  Let's make our own.  I think that if we combined our efforts, we could make a ass-kicking senario for the 2008 elections.  We could even make two; one for a Bush win in 2004 and one that assumes a Kerry win.  
We could come up with all the viable candidates for such an election.  For the Republicans we could have people like McCain, Rice, Powell, Frist, Coleman, Rumsfeld, Romney, Owens, Jeb Bush, Giuliani and others.  For the Dems we could have Kerry, an improved Edwards, Feinstien, Hillary Clinton, Ed Rendell and others.  
I can't do all of the technical stuff, but if anyone can I would be more than happy to do the research for it.  We would creat a set of issues that we think will be important in 2008. (ie rebuilding the Middle-east, paying down the Debt, etc.)  If we discussed it, I'm sure that we could think far ahead enough to see what the major issues will be.  We can also work to take accuont of demographic changes.

This can be our little project.  Something we can all work on together and in the end it would be soooo cool.  What do you guys think?

I think it's an awesome idea too...though I foresee problems with partisanship when it comes to deciding issues... 'What should we do now that Bush fixed the Middle East' or 'How will the candidates respond to the disatrous state that Bush left the economy in', etc. Otherwise, great.

That's why I figured we could make two senarios.

Yeah, but the effect of a Bush term or Kerry term on the issues being discussed might be subject to debate. Just a thought, that's all.

I understand, but I'm sure that we could work it out.  Anyway, the senerios should be set up so both sides have a chance to win.

I'd love to participate. I've created a whole bunch of people to use in the 2004 elections to run as president, including Bill Richardson, Mitt Romney, Bill Frist, Ben Campbell, among others.

What we have to consider, for a 2008 election coming off two terms of Bush:


Choices for candidates
Issues (as supersoulty said, middle east debt, etc)
Electorate trends (what states are moving to the left, and which ones are moving to the right?)
Third party candidates


TheWildCard is pretty savvy with the technical aspects, I think. I haven't seen him on lately, though. I'm sure he'd be interested in this.
