Americans Elect 2

.
The first post on this topic was 8-3-11.

There was a story on PBS news last night about Americans Elect.

As noted before some on the left see this as a conspiracy against Obama.

However, the Tea Party is the most enthusiastic group out there. I think that if the Republicans nominate anyone close to the center like Romney, then the Tea Party folks may turn to this vehicle. It seems to fit some of their objectives.

But there is also a possibility that we will really have a revolution here. If the election looks like Obama vs a Tea Party candidate what could a combo of Evan Bayh and Joe Scarborough or Brown of MA or Pataki of NY or NYC Mayor Blumberg do?

  1. The same conspiracy theory garbage is coming out of the right as well. These people see everything as some kind of conspiracy against them. No evidence at all yet that Americans Elect isn't exactly what they are saying they are. Who they nominate will depending entirely upon who signs up to be delegates, and who they vote for. Could end up being a left or right leaner, or even fringe candidates if enough moderates don't get involved.
