An Internet President in ’08?
If Unity08 has their way, there will be a third viable presidential candidate in 2008, chosen through an online convention.
Imagine a presidential primary where the candidate isn’t decided by a handful of voters in states with early primaries. This idea may become a reality by 2008 if Unity08 has their way. Unity08, a bipartisan and independent political organization, launched earlier this week with the goal of giving voters a viable alternative ticket (split with one Democrat and one Republican or an Independent) in the 2008 presidential race.
And by the way, the group plans to determine who will get their nomination through an online convention in the spring of 2008. All registered voters could be virtual convention delegates. The idea is that even if the third-party nominee didn't win, they would wield serious power in the '08 election, and make the two major parties take notice.
Check out the Unity08 Web site and while you’re there, play the Democracyland game.
