The community would not need to agree on any plank, ie there might be two (or more) economic growth planks, but it would be nice is sizable constituencies agreed to various planks. The key would be that the community articulated what it wanted, rather than waiting to see what the candidate came up with.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Anyone wishing to try this is welcome to use MoscowWiki for the exercise. <A href="http://moscowwiki.editme.com">http://moscowwiki.editme.com</A> Since our recent vandalism incident we now require you to create a (free) account to edit. I'd suggest you create a page called "06 Platform Planks" and open with a comment requesting others to not engage in edit wars, but rather, to develop their own (alternative) plank.
