Indie Web studio Generate is launching its new scripted online series “Republicrats” on Tuesday through MSN.
The 24-episode series will debut two new episodes per week leading up to this fall’s presidential elections. The program itself is a political satire that follows a former weather man who creates his own Republicrat political party and runs for president.
“Republicrats” will also incorporate an interactive user experience, inviting viewers to comment on platform, vice-president and first-lady issues as well as submit videos for presidential Cabinet consideration.
The program stars Sean Masterson, who also serves as series creator.

Good thing this concept wasn't pitched to the nets. Real-life politics is boring enough--why come up with some pie-in-the-sky story obviously aimed at the middle of the roaders? I, for one, am sick to death of presidential politics.

Didn't weather men have a club back in the last century?
Wonder they've been up to.
The article says it's fiction.
Republicrats sounds like real life to me.

This is an hilarious series. Check it out at http://originals.msn.com/republicrats/
I was skeptical at first but it's really well done.
