Smile, you're on Candidacy Camera.

Imagine this. It's today's date, except the year is 2008. George W. Bush is near the end of his final term in office, and you are two days away from electing the next President of the United States of America. You've just finished dinner and you sit down with your family to watch the annual battle of the candidates. But instead of the usual podiums with the two representatives of the political parties under a barrage of questions, your eyes are greeted with a different scene. The oval office appears on screen, this time without it's usual glamour. And instead of George W. Bush sitting in his chair, or doing whatever it is he claims to be doing, we see one of our candidates deep in thought. The little scrolling bar at the bottom of the screen says the feed is live. No, Candidate #1 has not decided to take the White House by force, he's simply in the next generation of presidential elections. The oval office we see is actually one of two different offices being filmed by secret cameras positioned all around the room, constantly switching to give the audience an uninhibited view of the two coandadites, each sperated from each other and undertaking the tasks that show what they themselves can do as president. What do I mean by that? The scrolling bar flashes at the bottom of the screen, and begins to explain a scenario. In a surprising move, Canada has decided to wage a full frontal war on America! Paid actors run in to tell this potential president the news. Based on his actions, a computer will determine the outcome of this stressful battle for life and liberty. Which president will setup a press conference? Which will fight back? Create a peaceful outcome? These are all things we will be able to see in the actual candidates themselves, as opposed to their cabinet. Or maybe Candidate #2 is being held hostage by a terrorist organization. How will he be able to save his life? Will he talk himself out? At the expense of the country? Or will he pay the ultimate price? These are just a few of the ways we will be able to see what stuff the candidates are truly made of, on Candidacy Camera TV.
