Rap-battle Political debates

 Demand verbal eloquence from your elected representatives.

Harken back to a simpler, purer, more-LOTR time. A time of loyalty, honor, and chivalry. Instead of lame-o, boring, no-one-cares-about-them sound byte political debates, have the candidates present their platforms in metered, rhymed verse.

The League of Women voters will provide impartial DJs for the beats. Come out flowing; may the best person win.

Bulworth http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118798/
"Bulworth is a Democratic Senator running for re-election...[who speaks] out in a brutally honest manner that is true to his old liberal, and even socialist, beliefs. He does so in the form of rap music..." [phoenix, Oct 04 2004]

       while this would be entertaining, I think I would rather have my elected officials spend more time thinking about how to solve the problems of today than how to get them to rhyme
