Don't think so - IMO this would make election time worse (think Trump and his hairpiece for VP...)
The early greek method of having a group decided partially by luck and then depend on "swarm wisdom"
has some good points as well.

>>But we do lack an official Raving Loony Party. To compensate both of our major parties have entire wings of raving loonies to which an aspirant must pander in order to become a candidate who must then appeal to a voter base not nearly as extreme but not necessarily less crazy. A strange system indeed.

>>The Libertarians (or at least the most rational of them) could easily be a majority party on the strength of ideas. Unfortunately, politics is not about ideas, it is about telling people pretty much anything in order to get your hands on the levers of power. And of course first and foremost, for exactly that reason, the Libertarian philosophy is about restraining that power as much as possible so it can do the least damage. Rather a prototypical American concept, actually.
