Otherwise you get people/supporters raiding the votes. Perhaps you could even have a "general public" vote, that wouldn't be done by the random sample, and then a more deliberate, controlled group of randomly selected people who would commit to answering some number of questions. The questions and answers take a little bit, so, with some effort, it seems it could be set up where a large randomly selected group of people are asked to participate and take 7-10 minutes to listen to one question and one answer by one candidate (any more than that and you'd have to likely pay people to ensure they are listening to full questions and answers, but for this i bet people'd be willing to actually listen to a full question and answer on a whole). So, that is, the randomly selected group could be split up so everyone just had one question and answer to listen to and vote on; you'd just have to make sure you had a big enough group. I think that could legitimize this as a trustworthy poll, build up a lot of hype, and at the same time keep the public involved by allowing them to submit questions and vote.

Now, two and a half months later, the public has had the chance to rate the candidates’ responses to the top ten submitted questions and we are declaring 10Questions an unmitigated success</p> <p><a href="http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/18181/10questions_com_complete_and_a_success">read more</a></p> http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/18181/10questions_com_complete_and_a_success#comment 10Questions Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:19:13 -0500 the editors 18181 at http://www.techpresident.com
