P. Diddy has always had a knack for getting people moving in the clubs, now he is trying to see if he get people moving into the voting booths. Combs is in the process of creating a show for MTV that will feature debates between presidential candidates John Kerry and George W. Bush.
Tentatively titled “Project Change,” Diddy promises the show will feature tough questions from real people. “I’m going to make Kerry and Bush squirm,” Combs told the New York Post. “The people who usually ask the candidates questions are screened, and I’m going to use real people off the streets to get their questions out there.”
Diddy has high hopes of boosting voter registration numbers for youth and minorities across the country. “My vote is only one vote, so I’m going to make sure a record number of youth and minorities register to vote this year. I’m asking them to hold their vote hostage until these candidates answer questions in real terms that people can understand. I want to be disruptive because it seems Kerry and Bush are already counting their votes, but I’m going to pull the rug out from under them – they need to work.”
