Unity 08 Founders Move to Bloomberg

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Unity 08 to sponsor Mayor Mike as a candidate in their primary. I said that I would certainly consider it, but I never heard back from them. I always felt that Unity 08 would be a victim of their own good intentions, and it now appears that their founders have come to the same conclusion and moved to a more concrete goal:

The founders of Unity08 - a bipartisan push to reform presidential
elections - are quitting to launch a national effort to draft Mayor Bloomberg
for the job.

Doug Bailey and Gerald Rafshoon plan to announce next week that they're
poised to recruit Bloomberg for a White House run if the major parties pander to
their extreme wings, according to Unity08 and sources.

...

But in almost two years, Unity08 has attracted 124,000 members and raised
just $1.5 million. It's scaling back its operation and dropping plans for an
online primary in June.

Well, I guess that explains why I never heard back from them...
