Unity08


A few weeks back I became aware of a group called Unity08. The agenda of this group is, as I understand it, to elect a hybrid Democratic/Republican ticket to appeal the vast majority of America which is basically centrist or independent.

I really haven’t given this group a lot scrutiny but I think it is worth a look. Is this a viable strategy to end the polarization of our political process? I don’t know but at least someone is taking a new tact. For an interesting view on American’s involved in Unity08, look at the results from their first position poll. I found a few surprises.
