I think I've come up with a concept that will change the face of American politics forever: Debate Wrestling. It's like
Chess Boxing, but with political debates and professional wrestling.
Here's how it works: you begin with 15 minutes of debate between the presidential candidates, followed up with 15 minutes of tag-team wrestling, with each party's presidential candidate and running mate forming a tag team. After that, it's 15 more minutes of debate, this time between the VP candidates. Finally, there's 15 more minutes of tag-team wrestling. This cycle continues until the moderator/referee runs out of questions, or until one party's candidates have to be carted off to the hospital.
PROS:
+ Not only would you get to see McCain and Obama debate each other over issues that many American citizens care about, but you'd also get to see Sarah Palin smash Joe Biden's face in with a folding chair. That beats a passive-aggressive political advertising war any day in my book!
+ It'll renew many Americans' interest in politics.
+ America has a long and storied history of
politicians harming one another. This would take American politics back to its ROOTS!
+ Can anybody say Ron Paul and Chuck Norris for 2012?
+ I think many people want to beat the carp out of politicians. This would be the next best thing!
CONS:
- Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger might have an unfair advantage.
