I think a really cool feature would be to go
head-to-head vs. candidates from real life. All of the
attributes that we use can be found on the Internet for
whatever candidate so that their data will be somewhat
life-like.
I have considered this also. Which candidates do you
suggest we use? In the case of Wisconsin, people who have
run for Senate in Wisconsin? Famous Senators/Senate
hopefulls from other states? I believe we would have to ask
permission from each candidate prior to using their names,
which would be a bit of a challenge but not impossible.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You know, I never thought of that, but probably true. How
about making their names slightly different like Jon Kerry or
Hillary Klinton. There is no real rule against satire. I would say
use popular candidates, because no one outside of Wisconsin
has heard of Wisconsin politicians.
