Ideas only have value as part if a development process and a deployment platform. Once we identify those, people gave a say to the extent they invest elbow grease in making it a reality. One possible goal would be to become the 538.com of non-partisan analysis: using a superior approach to make predictions others can't match. Another would be to act as counsellors to American Elect. A third as always is to start a podcast that becomes the new Drudge Report. Each if those calls for a different level of concreteness and inclusiveness. Ideally we should pick one before the 2012 nominees are finalized...
