The organization started out not seeming to be cognizant of the enormity of the task that it was taking on and it had a very user-unfriendly website to boot! However, the group has picked up some experience by now and it could operate a little better if it truly wants to do so. We can only wait and see what happens.

To not go ahead and submit the notice, which apparently is not difficult and requires no money, does not bode well in my opinion. Understandably, the uncertainty of who will be the presumptive Dem and Rep nominees (after Super Tuesday) hasn't allowed Unity08 to gather enough steam/media presence with all the oxygen getting sucked out of the room by the fantastically close races for those two major parties. But the notice should have been made in case Unity08 picked up a notable and viable declared candidate(s) for the U08 nomination. And save the extra legwork & cost of petition drive associated with an independent candidate, i.e. 30,000 more petition signatures.
