Are you feeling presidential?

An article in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution details the popular social networking website MySpace's plans to launch a new reality television show entitled "Independent." Throughout the series, MySpace users will be able to vote on which of the show's contestants--chosen by video submissions to MySpace--would be the presidential candidate that best represented "the collective voice of Americans." Though the contestants aren't seasoned politicians, they will be advised by national politicians and operatives. The winner of the final virtual election will win $1 million, but he or she must either donate the prize to a real candidate or political action committee, or invest it into a personal run for the White House. Though the show hasn't been picked up by a major broadcaster, its producers, who include Mark Burnett of "Survivor" and "The Apprentice" fame, hope the series will air in Spring 2008.

So, how many of you are running for president now?
