Eggers isn't stupid. He knows the Panorama has shortcomings and admits it wouldn't work as a daily concern. "I don't think any one paper would look like this on a given day," he says. "We're just saying that other publications could take some of these features and sprinkle them into the mix."

While none of the candidates look likely to win a majority on Sunday, the question is whether Frei Ruiz or Ominami will face Piñera in a January runoff...
