AI Independant Candidate
I hereby declare all Democratic candidates headed for the Fall elections to be "better than Bush but not good enough". We need a man who can go into Washington with no designs on a career in politics, and represent us common folk! Do some good up on that Hill for a change. Can I get an "Amen", brothers and sisters?
With our exhaustive knowledge of web technologies, who needs money for a campaign? We shall use the internet to propel our candidate to victory. All we need is one of those free hosting accounts (with extra bandwidth alloted by the hosting company) and some donated developer time! Mac users all over the country shall hear our cry, and provide us with millions of votes in November.
I hearby put forth the list of AI Platforms:
Healthcare Reformist - Nordstrodamus
Highly educated, logic-driven, and of principled mind, Nord-man might find himself in danger of getting locked into never-ending debates on Capital Hill but if any possess the knowledge to fix healthcare and education, he does. Running Mate: pscates (to add an element of humor and unpredictability)
Social Reformist - Shetline
Will put right all that has been wronged in the world of Civil Liberties and general freedom over the last four years. Will also outline sensible new broadcast guidelines for producers of SuperBowl halftime shows. Running Mate: Artman (he's from Philly, ya got a problem with that?)
Technology and Jobs - THT will build a program to wire every American home with a cheap PC or Mac by the end of the decade, meaning technology access and job potential for families of all types. Will single-handedly dismantle the myth of Pentium Supremacy. Running Mate: Brad (the fix-it man).
Any one of these men could, once sworn in, appoint other AI gurus to key cabinet positions, as well as possibly appointing various media personalities and entertainers (a popular strategy these days). Some potential picks:
Secretary of Defense: Scott (even if funding were thin, Scotty would have the troops in a state of readiness at all times).
Secretary of State: Hassan (sure, some of those silly citizenship rules will have to be bent, but he's the man for the job).
Press Secretary: Groverat (was there any doubt?)
Secretary of HHS: Fellows (the man genuinely cares about people, so let him go to work I say)
Secretary of the Interior: BuonRotto (he's the infrastructure guy, I'm tellin ya).
Secretary of Treasury: Jeff Bezos (because he can make a winning enterprise out of any organization I suspect).
"...and that's all I hafta say about that."

Ummm... career politicians, particularly those with federal experience, make much better presidents. You need someone in there who knows how the system works, who can work with members of Congress and who will be able to move legislation. Sorry.
Powerdoc: they haven't invented a cabinet post that fits my abilities yet.
- cut ridiculous federal departments
- legalize prostitutes and drugs
- force responsible state legislature
- lower taxes to 8% flat at the highest
- get rid of feline nuisances
Now that's an independent ticket . . . not just a centrist lump with a playful title.
