I went with the names of front-runners and randomly selected the would-be challengers using a high-tech selection process called "Close Your Eyes and Pick Two." I, then, advanced those whose competitors have admitted they have will not seek the Office of The President (but who may consider the VP slot). Lucky, for Huckabee. He was most appropriately matched with Elmer Fudd who, I believe, would have given him a run for his money as far as this competition is concerned.
What remains to be seen is the manner in which each contender would advance to the next rounds. I have considered a series of athletic competitions where one must perform as their values would dictate. For example, in the Debt Reduction Dash competitors would hold a pile of 6,000 pounds of dollar bills. When John Boehner, our M.C., clanks the gavel, each person must look within themselves and determine what is the best way to reduce the deficit. If they believe in slashing taxes, getting rid of entitlements, and eliminating Barney Franks Congressional snack allowance, throw the money and run! However, if reducing the deficit means cutting some taxes and making excuses for entitlement "earners," the competitor must carry several hundred pounds of money with them in an attempt to be the first to cross the finish line. Whoever wins the race is the more conservative and would advance to the next round--"Morality Boxing." (For every scandal, affair, rumor, and slip up the competitor gets punched by the opponent. Last man standing wins.)
I don't know how well this would be received on Capitol Hill, but it sure would make C-SPAN more exciting.
