Damn it I'm too young.

Can't run until you are thirty five but thanks to the 2 people who told I should run even before they heard of Unity08.

Since I can't do it what are we going for an election in 2008

I have said it before and I say it again we need a third party. Unity in 08 has an interesting strategy they are going to have an open debate system with the internet polling on issues and things the like, they will even decide on their candidate. I wonder if they can get there voting methods secure enough or are we going to have a thirteen year old hack in and change the results. They will probably end up having a more secure method and paper trail of their results then the machines the government has come up with. I think the online system will work better for these reasons

• The online secure transactions have been happening for years with credit card numbers safe over the internet, so they have been tested and refined.

• By actually involving the people who work with the internet everyday will be able to give them feedback on the system, hackers love a challenge tell them try to hack it in test runs with a prize for those who succeed.
• The current government system by Diebold doesn't seem to have all the bugs worked out of it
  

Both of these reasons come from it being developed in a free market, where if yours didn't work or a lot where getting ripped off, you wouldn't use it.

The other issue I see with what they are doing is very centralist and I think a stronger candidate would be one that is a little more extreme. Right now a lot of people in America are really start to think the Government is to big, me included, would motivate more voters to actually go out and vote for someone new. I think that we need a bigger shake up then a Centrist would be. Plus the names I see being thrown around like McCain, Lieberman, Feingold. But these are people I didn't vote for the first time and I probably wouldn't vote them again I almost think an outsider may have a better chance, because isn't the thing we are all tired of is politics as usual? They have allowed for the chance of an outsider anyone who is eligible can run. But would they have a chance or would we wind up with Jesse from MTV.

They have also given a list of crucial issues terrorism, oil crisis, health care, national debt , emerging, global warming and the list goes on. One reason I think that we have such a polarization in politics right now is because of litmus test issues, so having them be debated in an open forum would be nice but would it really allow us to settle on a middle ground? Or would those whose choice didn't win just turn around and vote for their old party almost ensuring that party a win. I think what would be best for individuals like me to campaign for the issues they feel are important to hopefully change public view enough to make it more of a consensus. I still stick to the fact I think that the war on drugs should be a major issue, and its time we started talking about it. We will all agree that war is wrong. So why do most agree that a war on our own people is good?
