Would a candidate for the Board of Governors be a shoo-in if he held a live webchat with collectors?

I am not sure how the technology works, but I have participated in live webchats in the corporate world. I assume a similar arrangement can be set up by anyone. Because collectors are complaining that we don't know the current candidates' positions and their concrete plans for change, should a candidate hold a scheduled live webchat with collectors so that all of our questions could be answered. To me it would seem to be a very effective, immediate, and probably cost-effective means to get your message and plan out there. I think that a candidate that does this will show initiative, drive, and responsiveness, and will therefore greatly increase his chances of being elected (or re-elected), or at the very least removed from the Vote The Bums Out list. What do you think? For the techies in the house, is this feasible?

My guess is that nobody would participate. Better yet, how about a website with a message board or a place to ask questions and have them answered. That has a better chance of getting participation, as people can come and go as they please.

It'd be more than starting a campaign, it'd be the beginning of a conversation.

Regarding a live webcast, I would be more than happy to do it, and in fact, I plan to have one before the ballots are mailed out (and add a camera to my computer).

An excellent alternative is voice chat, which Yahoo has and there is probably others as well.

Not if he/she supported Cipoletti.
