Americans Elect, Third-Party Group Has Cash, But No Candidate

Politico:

A new group that hopes to tap into a rising appetite for a third-party presidential challenger has discovered that $30 million in secret cash can buy ballot access and attention, but not necessarily a dream candidate.

. The Hydrogen Car Fender Replacement program will FREE UP $31,200,000,000 a month to be spent back into the US Economy. When we spend more, your revenues will go up . So everyone will benefit for this that frees up $31.2Billion a month revenue program. That’s $375BILLION a year

Any idea that has a Lieberman attached to it is worthless. Hagel on the other hand seems like a fair minded sane person.

Chuck Hagel is one of those Republicans that can truly claim the Party left him.

The only one I respect in that group would be Chuck Hagel.

How sad, a "Republican Lite" party isn't being overwhelmed with public support.

Potential ballot access in all 50 states and no dyed-in-the-wool Dems or Reps offering to be the Americans Elect nominee. For those of us interested in selecting a non-partisan President, this is too good to be true. As the two major parties continue to polarize and alienate the electorate, thereby creating a huge voting block seeking independent-minded leadership, the AE model may represent an ideal avenue to shake up the parties, their puppets, and the entrenched elite. Let's turn off the talking heads and create a truly democratic political voice -- join AE, participate in selecting an alternative presidential ticket for the 2012 ballot, and revolutionize the political process.

They considered Joe Lieberman? Seriously? And whatever happened to Alan Keys? He'd probably jump at the chance.
