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?"

    More specifically, they can just go ahead and send it to me.

    Texas. Definitely spend it in Texas. John Kerry has a great chance there. Just a few more dollars...

    $10,000 can't buy much in a modern election. By putting up this website, and getting it linked here and probably elsewhere, the PAC will probably get its message across to thousands across the US.

    If you're starting from nothing, it's not how much money you've got, or even where you use it, so much as your ideas and ingenuity.

    If Howard Dean was running, there'd be a lot more web stunts like this. Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing though!
