ala Ross Perot style complete with charts and a pointy stick. And include Paul Ryan in the presentation.

I think this is effin’ brilliant. Make it a half-hour “fireside” chat with Romney & Ryan volleying ideas back and forth, keeping it informal and interesting, having a little fun between the two of them, and EDUCATING voters. This would totally suck all the air out of Obama’s campaign!!!!

Romney campaign, are you listening???

back then, the article claims thirty minutes of network time costs ranged from 150K to 700K. Wonder what that’d cost now.

Then in early October, Ross Perot went on the air with a set of cardboard graphics and 16.5 million people tuned in for what amounted to a 30-minute lecture. Since then, Mr. Perot’s paid political programs have consistently outdrawn many sit-coms. (On Friday night, a half-hour program in which Mr. Perot introduced his family attracted 10.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.)

As with so many aspects of his campaign, Mr. Perot’s 30-minute commercials seem to defy decades’ worth of political experience.
