I have a hard time imagining that on a national scale. How many
competing petition drives might there be prior to a given election?
Besides, it takes a good bit of organization to gather
signatures on such a scale and over such a wide geographical
area, so in the end the most-organized candidates -- those
with some kind of political machine backing them up -- will
get nominated. So we're back where we started.
