Americans Elect
« on: May 15, 2012, 12:22:02 PM »
The group Americans Elect has gone down the tubes. In my opinion they were set up to siphon votes from the Republican party so I see it as a very good thing that it has failed.

It was perhaps the most well-funded start to an aspirational “third party” in the last few decades, and it had plenty of higher-profile support.  Americans Elect has already qualified for the general election ballot in 27 states.  The organization asked people to pick its nominees in a big on-line effort, which produced … no contenders:

Fear not, brave independents.  Americans Elect plans to continue their efforts to find a nominee, just as soon as they figure out how to bypass their own rules to do it.  This will give the nominee credibility
