Hey Michael Moore

The Republican Presidential Primary… Isn’t it an annointment and not a duly considered choice? Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, Reagan, Reagan, Ford… when was the last time there was really a surprise winner of the Republican primary process? For Democrats, it can be argued that Clinton and Carter were both surprises. Perhaps Dukakis as well. But the Republicans? Anything?
There’s usually little drama and little interest by Republican voters in their primary process. They almost always lock in on one candidate pretty quickly. I bet that even in 2008, Republicans won’t have a result-changing choice for somebody to vote for by the time they get to their 10th primary.
So… why not shake things up a bit? This is a suggestion to one Michael Moore, filmmaker and pot-stirrer deluxe. I have a suggestion. Change your party affiliation to Republican. Run for the 2008 Republican primary. Force the debate. Force Republicans to consider what policies they are adopting as they buy the ‘08 model of the Republican brand. Make fun of the Republicans on their dime - and make a movie during the process.
Is there something better you’re doing in 2008? If not… think about it.
Brilliant!! I hope you sent this to him.
Maya - I just did, thanks.
Dammit, Maya, you stole my word.
I was going to say brilliant, too.
Now all I can say is Wickedly Brilliant!
