Haven't dug into this enough yet, but it could be quite interesting.
Unity08: Select & Elect a Unity Ticket in the 2008 Presidential Race |
An attempt to leverage the net for politics, but running to the middle, not the edges.
As a believer in smaller is better when it comes to most government functions, and big skeptic of the power of lobbyists, I will look into this effort.
In general, I dislike national politics, even state level issues as being just a bunch of political BS.
The net may manage to change things, give the public a voice, even a shall we say ... Vote!
And 2008 will be an interesting year.
Democrats may have a hard time coming to a consensus candidate, Barak is too "green" (untested), Hillary a lighting rod and has "Bill Baggage" to contend with.
Al Gore waiting in the wings.
Republicans have no incumbent to run, and I'm not sure if they can come up with a candidate, or if they can hold on to their base in the religous right without driving off moderates.
Maybe "Unitiy '08" can be a home for devote not partisans like me
