True, but do we know if any candidate was specifically asked? A Marketing Coordinator (MC) could definitely bring something together - many of the people are accessible; it would be a matter of organizing the chat and making it easy for the politico, businessperson, celeb, etc. to come on, do their thing, and then it's up to him or her to take it further or quit. We could lock the thread once the chat is over, thus this way it reduces the slamming. Slamming would certainly be the main con, but I think it could be reduced if a variety of folks were offered.
With all the folks here, each has a possible contact that could be offered to the MC, and it grows from there. At the same time, the MC could be reaching out to specific individuals or organizations.
