 Hi All,

There is an article in the March12 American Prospect by Harold Meyerson describing Wall Street's Third Party, the creation of financier Peter Ackerman, a 65 year old private equity executive.  It is called Americans Elect.  They have already raised $22 million dollars, of which 55 donors each gave more than $100,000.  They seek to update the nominee-selection process for the digital age through on-line voting.  They are looking to create a political vehicle for the socially tolerant, fiscally conservative financial establishment that Ackerman, and the colleagues he's persuaded to join the organiation's leadership personify.   eleanor
