I can vote for that. Let's do away with parties, primaries, conventions, super delegates and the electoral college.

Back to my previous (I thought brilliant) idea. Print the ballot on the back of the economic stimulus rebate checks that we should be receiving soon. List all of the known candidates, including the ones who have dropped out, and include space for write-ins. Then when you cash your check you can vote. The one with the most votes, becomes President, and second highest becomes VP.

We will be spared the rest of the mud-slinging and the politicking for the next few months. We can tell the super delegates not to bother packing and we repeat process every 4 years.
