There are quite a few browser extensions that make this easier. The best is Pentadactyl, a complete UI overhaul for vi bindings everywhere that lets you hit Control + i to open any text field in any (blocking) external editor (gvim -f by de

Would you be interested in expanding this to other candidates (like those in other races, running for Vice President, or nominated by other parties)? Would it add significantly more work?
