And now for something completely different.
Yes it is yet another blog about this year’s presidential election. This one is a bit different though.
I think it would be good to opensource some code that would tell candidates if they have a fighting chance of winning a presidential election.
If all potential candidates were forced to go through this system first, this would have a lot of benefits:
1. We’d only have to listen to 3 or 4 politicians drone on about being president.
2. Our relations with other countries will improve as we aren’t seen as a bunch of cheating, arrogant, money grubbing, shiny faces.
It also has a major consequence though. The elections would be less entertaining. We may have to revert to survivor for our reality TV.
One note: The weights and measures are configurable based on party or race.
So here goes – in psuedo code format:

Love it — the Santorum sanity check! Keeps code, and elections, sanitary!-ColePS Wash yer hands. It’s election time again.
