McPoints: you too can be a GOP Veep

So presidential hopeful John McCain is making an award system for conservatives who post the republican talking points on liberal bloggers websites.  This is sweet, what a novel idea I hadn't thought anything like this would work with anybody over the age of 6.  I have a star system for my kids, red star for successfully brushing your teeth with out hysterics, a blue star if you drop a deuce in the potty not in your pants, and gold stars for playing nice with others.  As of publishing date neither me nor my tots actually know what the stars will translate into but it will probably be the backyard pool if I have a say about it, and not the preternatural trip to Disney World, but i digress.
What do you suppose these McPoints will be worth.  One million posts gets you a round of golf at the detention center of your choosing, another ten million gets you that hybrid car that will be useful when he pumps all the remaining oil out of the earth, maybe if you win the contest you can be the veep?  That being said it does not seem very presidential to manipulate your disciples with any type of reward system, especially one for bad behavior.  I use the system to instill value based behavior; if you are nice and work and play well with others you can have that lollipop.  NOT; if you can engulf the humidhaney website with right wing rhetoric then you can win a trip to watch the terrorist of your choice get waterboarded.  Of course the byproduct is they will actually have to read and understand the leftist discussion before they can actually comment on it...I mean don't they.
