PAC Asks Voters Where To Spend 10K

Posted by timothy on from the how-about-right-there dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Not sure if this is for real or not, but for what it's worth, it seems like a Democratic PAC is letting people vote on where to spend US$10k of its money. Think Oregon is a more important swing state? Pennsylvania? Let' em know at ORvPA.org. What kind of issues does this raise? Think Republicans will try and game the vote? Does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Is this a good example of trying to harness the wisdom of crowds?"

    If Kerry doesn't take PA, he's _not_ going to win. He can do without Oregon (though he'll have to take at least one other swing state), but without PA, no chance whatsoever, unless he takes pretty much every other swing state, which I don't see happening. It's fun and scary playing with those online Electoral Vote calculators.

    Isn't this what Plato referred to as mob rule?
