I saw you give this fantastic talk yesterday at PDF09. I think money has always been at the roots of the inequitable distribution of power at the heart of representative democracy on a mass scale, particularly that which is rooted in the two party system. Your experiment with political capital is ingenious, and represents precisely what Craig Newmark said at that panel regarding bringing the earlier grassroots/direct democracy to the table through new forms of distributed technology and social media. I think this is the right path down which to proceed, and there seem to be many possibilities for iteration and evolution as you move forward.
