Something to Keep an Eye On...
This article caught my eye and I thought I would flag it for any of you that want to add even more complexity to the current Presidential race. If you are unsatisfied with the current candidates - or your favorite candidate's chances - this article might even provide a little hope.
Apparently there is a group of fairly prominent current and former politicians meeting in the near future to discuss a third party "Unity" candidate for the 2008 election....
It's entirely possible that this effort might not gain any notice or traction, but with the stature of some of the figures involved, I wouldn't immediately dismiss the possibility....crazier things have certainly happened...and much of the country certainly does seem desperate for a new approach...

At the risk of sounding like a cynical, grumpy old man, I think that this will ultimately result in very little. The ensuing bipartisan dialogue and general good feeling will be nice, but as a viable political entity or a third party...no.
Hopefully, the 44th President will take a moderate stance and work toward bringing the two parties and the country together. But he or she is going to come from one of the two major parties.
