Make That 75,001 (Or 38,001?)
Richard Winger's excellent Ballot Access News site briefly mentions a Politico.com story that I had seen, but had forgotten to mention here.
Leaving aside the idea that freshly "de-partisaned" New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is heavily rumored to be considered as a candidate, it's notable that the Unity08 people are boasting (not really: they want a ten million) that they have 75,000 delegates signed up for their Summer 2008 nonpartisan nominating convention.
This morning, I took the plunge and became a Founding Delegate to this unprecedented convention. I felt "safe" signing up because it's not a political party, and one can still remain a member of his or her own political party (or not) in joining. The site offers the ability to invite friends via blast e-mail to do the same, but I won't spam you like that. I'll mention it here, and let you make your decision without any urging. It's just how I do. Usually.
On a related note, Tennessean reporter/blogger Jennifer Peebles announces the weekend talking head guests, and I couldn't help but notice that longtime "Law & Order" star Sam Waterston will be one of them. He, as you well know by now, is a huge proponent of the Unity08 movement.
