    Whatever the intent...

    ...all the potential "Unity '08" tickets look like alternative, slightly less extremist (in tone if not content) Republican candidacies to me. Such an effort might shave off a few of the remaining moderate Republicans who might otherwise cross the aisle and vote for the Dems, but I have a hard time believing that the Unity '08 nonsense will attract disaffected independents. This effort has Establishment written all over it...there's not even Ross Perot-style folksiness to leaven things.
