MoneyPolitics!
I just watched the movie MoneyBall last night.I have also read on Wikipedia about the bookMoneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game.It seems that so long as only one team gamed the system by the numbersthat it was golden for them,but when everyone tried to do the same, it was nowhere near as effective.
Moneyball is like Monsanto.We can let the numbers dictatewhat we do for an immediate gain,at the risk of long-term catastrophe,but we can be certain that there will be change.
Analogously, I've recommended forAmerica's Third Partyto game the system.Here's what I wrote for Sarah Hart. I do think it'd be better if you and David [Sponheim] made a point of how flawed our Electoral College System is by gaming it thru trying to register on the ballot in only competitive states and committing to maybe calling on your supporters to vote strategically on the day before the election.... Third parties have got to stop playing the game of politicsas if they were the NY Yankees!!!
We gotta Game the Gameto Change the Game,which is also what third parties majoring on American forms of Proportional Representation would do!dlw
