A good idea would be a series of televised debates/ question and answer sessions, well mediated and not allowed to devolve into a shouting match. Financed by the government/ taxpayers, free tv time like the President gets. Each candidate has an alloted time to speak his mind and lay out his platform, then answer questions, posed from a mixed panel, no softball stuff and no soft answers, we dont move on until a direct answer to the question is given. Outside of these venues there would be absolutely no campaigning or ads and commercials, candidates cannot accept any money from any person, group ,or corporation. No showing up on Leno to smile and tell lies. Then when the guy got elected he would have to stand behind what he said on national television.
