Running for Congress, the Brian Barton way

Brian Barton, former editor of a UCSD student paper, The Koala, was the youngest candidate to run for Congress in the last elections, and his site said:



However, Bryan Barton isn't only the youngest candidate, he is the most real candidate. In fact, Bryan Barton is documenting the process of running for congress on video for a reality television show tentatively titled Vote Barton. While candidates running for political office are always looking out for their image, hiding behind their "official" representatives, and ducking public criticism, Bryan Barton is not afraid of the fact that he is a real person.



The "show" has just gone online at Visflix. The first episode is a campaign commercial; the second is actually informative, though only of real interest to Americans.

Don't look here (precincts reporting as of Jul 14, 2006) unless you want to know the result.
