You could, however, run on the platform that you would randomly
select some citizen and allow him to make all your voting decisions.
That would at least work until you were recalled (which I think
would be likely). I am still not optimistic that those votes would
be any less heinous than those of an elected official himself--in
fact, I'm quite sure they would not be. The masses today believe
in all kinds of nonsense.
When I lived in Seattle, a man changed his name to "Absolutely
Nobody" and ran for Lieutenant Governor. He promised that if he
were elected, he would return his salary and never show up for work.
There's a tweak to democracy I might support--a definite step in
the right direction.
It also served to allow me to say something to our LP candidate
that one rarely gets to say--"Congratulations, Tom, nobody got more
votes than you did."
