‘Red/Blue’ series being pitched

Reality television has generated American idols, top models and business apprentices. Now, some political types are hoping that a Washington, D.C.-based reality show can deliver the next great political consultant.

A proposed eight-part series titled “Red/Blue,” which its creators aim to get on the air next summer, places 12 or 14 aspiring political consultants -- divided into two teams of liberals and conservatives -- inside a Georgetown townhouse that’s wired with cameras and microphones a la “Real World” and “Big Brother.” The participants engage in a series of challenges that test their political skills. The last one standing wins $1 million to spend on a cause or candidate in the 2006 election.

The producers have not lined up a network yet.
