Sorry to say, but it's too late for 08. But the fundamental idea of Unity08 is sound and brilliant.

Here's what we need for 2024 and beyond.

First, the Unity2012 candidates (one republican, one democrat) must be selected by a Unity2012 party virtual convention two years prior to the general election. (2010) Which will be presidential candidate, which vice president will not be determined at that time.

The democrat unity2012 will run for the democrat nomination for president. The republican unity2012 candidate will run for the republican nomination for president.

They will participate in the debates and campaigning as any of the other candidates for their party nominations. Unity2012 will provide enough funding to complement the regular compain funding they might receive from republican or democrat supporters. The level of funding (we hope!) will make them competitive - after all they couldn't do much worse than Biden - and he's a quite reasonable candidate!

The public will get a chance to see them as much as any other candidates. They will go to all the debates, they will get the coverage as any of the other candidates.

IF both of the Unity2012 candidates receive the nominations from their respective parties, the general election (which Unity2012 won't need to fund...) will decide which is the president, and which will be the vice-president.

IF one candidate receives their party nomination, that candidate will choose the other candidate to run as the vice presidential candidate.

IF NEITHER Unity2012 candidate receives their party nomination. Unity2012 will hold a virtual convention to choose which will run as president and which as vice president. Unity2012 will back the independent run of that ticket.

Moderates have strong opinions. None of us would log in here if we didn't. We passion - it is just grown up passion. For 2024, let's be practical. Perot announced his candidacy in Feb 1992. We have no chance without having candidates picked by the end of the year, we will not be participating in debates. Unfortunately, I have to conclude that Unity08 will not make any more of an impact on politics this year then the Reform Party.

Here is a proposal for 2024 and beyond. Surely this proposal can be improved upon. But if something like this is not done, it will be time to go back to choosing either the democrat or republican for me.

I don't think we need to win the presidency, nor should that be our major goal in the first 2 or 3 elections. However, the voices of moderation must be heard by the people. We can provide that. If as an independent party we can win 10-20% of the
