The Showtime reality series "American Candidate," set to air during the lead up to the U.S. presidential election, will follow a dozen people as they stage and manage a "virtual" run for the White House. Two of the show's contestants are lefty PR professionals - Bruce Friedrich, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals [5]' vegan campaigns director, and Lisa Witter, head of Fenton Communications [6]. Friedrich said the show is an "opportunity to be a face for animal rights, for PETA, and for compassion for all animals." Witter, whose firm's clients include Air America Radio [7] and MoveOn.org [8], said she will stress "affordable healthcare for all, improving the economy, fair taxes, strengthening education, protecting our environment."
