Washington Post special correspondent (and former NBC anchor) Tom Brokaw wrote that the 2024 Presidential election will be determined by some unforeseen occurrence (UFO) – a terrorist attack, changes in Iraq, skyrocketing oil prices, immigration riots, or a major natural disaster. Or, he says, a third party that hosts a “big-name fusion ticket.”
What do you think of Brokaw's UFO theory of politics? Do you think Unity08 could be the UFO hovering over the 2024 election? Talk about it in the Shoutbox.

This is nothing new from what we've labeled the "October surprise" since the 70s. Politics are almost always controlled by unforseeable circumstances.
For example, what if we are hit by Al Qaeda again in October. Does that benefit either side? Why?
(There are good arguments for and against both.)
All the people in Tom's article are career politicians. Why haven't they done something already? We hope one of them can prove themself and create a standard by which they will be evaluated. We'll see if they pander to every group.
UFO indeed what about positions on the issuses,WHY dont you just run CARTER AND FORD together!
Until Unity08 explains or puts forward a plan for putting together a platform composed of and by registered US voters no politician worth his salt will touch the organization.
No is the answer! Today's Unity08 has no chance of being a UFO.
I wont touch this one but from a distance... Yes in a way you can say policy for 08 will sound like it came from aliens because we have gotten so rude! Simply speaking nicely and logically about an issue would sound alien in todays comms and media! www.appyp.com/fix_main.html
Now that are prime rate is gone and can't be moved up without causing inflation! And the enemy owns half our stock market and most of our real estate it won't take much to destroy the wealth in a heart beat... with a stock market as stable as the titanic... www.appyp.com/fix_main.html
