(Community Matters) Interesting supposition:
Politico Playbook: NYMag’s Jonathan Chait, “Will Olympia Snowe join Americans Elect?”: “Snowe’s statement seems unusually specific (‘unique opportunities to build support for that change from outside the United States Senate’) about her intent to do something. I suspect it may not be coincidental that David Boren, the former Democratic senator from Oklahoma and oil industry lickspittle, came out for Americans Elect today. The group is set up so that its presidential and vice-presidential candidates need to come from opposing parties.” http:// bit.ly/wLuuUY
I am very intrigued. This seems to have the potential to be great if it is true game changer. I’m cynical that the special interests have too much money in play and that the two-party system will stay firmly in place. But I’m also an optimist at heart.
