Question to Alexandra Petri of Wash.Post Online Live Chat -- Presidential Candidates

Today is Super Tuesday (March 6, 2012);  www.washingtonpost.com/

Question: Will any of the Four Presidential Wannabes offer a new debate framework (The Voice "Battle Round")?

Ever since Michele Bachmann called two of the leaders in the GOP Race for Presidential nomination "Newt Romney" I have wondered about keeping the so-called frontrunners separate before the disinterested general voting public. What about having four non-political Virtuosos listen for anything notable and vote-worthy about having one of them be the Leader of the Free World from 2013 - Nov. 2016? Only if the "Panel" of listeners said "Go" would they move to the next Voting Event. . .The interaction with media "experts" and news anchors is kind of trite after so many 2011 - 12 stage events. Thanks.
 
Answer by  Alexandra Petri :
First off, I love The Voice, and I would be entirely fine with switching the primaries to Battle format instead. Battle Duets! Candidates no one could see! That's an innovation behind which I can get!
Actually, an even better strategy might just be to turn around so you didn't see the candidates, and then stay turned for the next eight months.
