【答案解析】The Unity08. com is an Internet-based third party run by some veteran American politicians. Their hope is to get even a fraction of the 50 million who voted for the next American Idol to nominate a third-party candidate for president online and use their new army to get him or her on the ballot in all 50 states. The Unity08 plan is for an online third-party convention in mid-2008, following the early primaries. Any registered voter could be a delegate; their identities would be confirmed by cross-referencing with voter registration rolls. The idea is that even if the third-party nominee didn't win, he would wield serious power in the '08 election, which will likely be close.
