All you really need to know about Moderate Americans Elect is that they are basically the country-club Republicans who have been driven out of the GOP by the teahadist and talibangelical wings. They call themselves moderate, but they are basically the corporate wing of the former GOP. They’re down with laffer, tax cuts, gutting the safety net, and easing “burdensome” regulations. They’re ok with unfettered corporate greed, invading Iran, serving as Israel’s client state, and macing some fucking hippies who dare to stand around in front of Wall Street. They have a hard-on for the drug war and school vouchers.
The only thing that separates them from the GOP is they don’t give a shit about gay marriage and they think all the anti-immigration stuff is bad for business, and they have some black friends so the racism of the GOP base embarrasses them. This is the party of Bloomberg, Bayh, Giuliani, Harold Ford, Blanche Lincoln, etc.

Apparently Lady Lynn de Rothschild is on their board. You remember her, the “Democrat” who informed us in 2008 that, unlike herself, Obama is an “elitist.” Because apparently being African-American makes you one of the elites, while marrying a Rothschild means you’re just plain folks.

This is nothing more than another angle by GOPers to try split the moderate vote and defeat Obama. Romney is ‘moderate’ enough for them but his association with the party of crazy is never gonna get him elected without peeling some moderates away from Obama.
General Stuck
We have weird politics right now in this country, and making predictions from past experience needs to be taken with an open mind. The usual for a poor economy, and a near certain defeat for any president with as high a UE percent, does not match up with the polling. such as
It is a 44 percent rock solid will vote for Obama, and that is remarkable, considering the econ conditions, UE rate over 9 percent and stagnant. And even National Review notes the phenomenon.
There are apparently other factors that aren’t clear yet, but one for sure, is certainly the clownish GOP field, but I suspect we have some pretty stark ideological lines being drawn for the near future, and maybe beyond. And Obama is doing just fine with his base, and really has all along, with the overwhelming majority of voting dems.
It kind of looks like despite all the anxiety over low job creation, is being trumped by a higher level of the public getting it, the madness coming out of the GOP. And the fact they like Obama personally.
Happy Holidays!

I would strongly disagree with this take. While any particular individual who associates with this may fit the profile you lay out at heart this effort is nothing more then an effort to take votes from Obama and put a Republican in the White House. It is the classic move you see all the time in local elections, but has long been tough on the national stage because you have to reveal who is bankrolling it. That is why the donors are secret in this effort. I bet they heavily overlap with current Republican donors (they are said to disproportionately come from hedge funds, and hedge fund people have heavily underwritten Romney).
That is also why Rothschilds, Schoen and Caddell have shown up in this effort.

These are the people that Tom Friedman will peddle as the saviors of America. The meme will be that Obama failed but we need “adults” to return the country back to its greatness.

I wouldn’t put anything past the GOP at this point in time, and Citizens United could provide cover for such a bold ratfucking astroturfed movement designed to take away votes from Obama. We will just have to wait and see. I kind of doubt it, because attempting such a move, even with the ability to keep donors secret, will be difficult to do in the intense light of a POTUS race, with so many eyes and ears turning over every rock for information. Something that could cause a big backfire, if the wingers are attempting it.

@Napoleon:
I think you’re mostly right, but the voters they’re trying to siphon off are the moderate Republicans who voted for Obama in 2008. These guys know that they’ll never be able to steer those votes to Romney (much less any of the other clown car denizens) but they’re hoping to re-direct them to their “centrist” candidate over Obama.
Democrats won’t be fooled — even conservative ones — but these guys are hoping to give Republicans who are disillusioned with the Republican Party an alternative place to go.

Another funny thing, the poll results on the AE website apparently turn out to show an electroate that is FAR more liberal ( progressive, whatever) than the centrists intend.
And far more either populist, or in line with Obama, already.

I agree with the poster above who says it is probably a charade and AE has final say, not the web election.

Thanksgiving left me feeling pretty good about Obama’s chances. The two Bush/McCain voters who were in attendance (Scranton, PA), didn’t show any signs of irrational Obama hatred and mostly complained about the craziness of their own party’s candidates. Hell, they were more positive about the economy than I am. A quote: “Except for unemployment things are actually going pretty well. We’re not in a recession, the economy is at least growing slowly.” They might still go for Romney, who they think is sleazy, if a Perry or Gingrich sneaks threw, they will become Obama voters.
Enough taxi cab sociology from me…

@Mnemosyne: Democrats won’t be fooled—even conservative ones—but these guys are hoping to give Republicans who are disillusioned with the Republican Party an alternative place to go.
So, they’re hoping for Obama 44%, Republican (subset Tea Party) 27%, and Republican (subset Moderate AE) 29%? Don’t see that working well for either Republican brand, even with the Electoral College – in fact, I could see Obama taking a plurality in a couple of red states, and thus the EC votes.

I absolutely agree that is the goal.
As much as I have bitched about a lot of things that Obama has done I think from day one this is the group they have sought to peal away from the Republicans since it cuts off a funding source for them, further concentrates the crazy, and gives the Dems a patina of seriousness.
And the republicans know that.

@Kola Noscopy:
Financial sector donations are 10% of Obama’s total fundraising. Uncoded (<$250) donations are 20% of his total.
So those $25 donations are stacking up quite well.
He also gets 20% of his money from retired folks so I've always been curious about argument that he's going to piss off 20% of his fundraising base to appease 10% of it by privatizing social security.

And Romney wouldn’t be a slave to Wall Street just because he’s already gotten 5 times more money from them than Obama has.

Let’s remember Friedman’s piece on Americans Elect:
That’s what Friedman says when he’s trying to convince readers that this “radical center” group is the great new savior of real America: it has “swank” offices and hedge fund money. Clearly if there’s one thing Americans can agree on, it’s that hedge fund managers don’t have enough influence in our political system.
Elias Schewel
so, earlier today I decided to sign up to be one of their “delegates” and take a bunch of surveys.
You answer these series of questions, which each propose a spectrum of policy solutions right-to-left for dealing with healthcare, education, energy production, immigration, taxes etc.
The funnies part was they then report to you which option is getting the most votes. Overwhelmingly out of the options available the voters were picking either the “most Left” option or the “center Left” option.
Which of course all suggests that we don’t need a third party, we just need the Republicans to get out of the way, and the Democrats to move a little bit back to the left.

Now that we’ve gotten all that out of our systems….all this “yearning for a less extremist candidate” on the part of these jerks is nothing more than waking up to the hangover caused by thirty years of partying down by mainlining fear, hatred and paranoia right into the minds of Republican voters. Which was all just fine until they nominated Thurston Howell’s idiot son and handed him the keys to a Corvette loaded with whiskey and machine guns, which – predictably – he ran over the high side while maintaining all along it was somebody else’s fault. Oops.
So what to do? Why, double down on the crazy – it being the sense of the Republican base that their electoral problems in 2006 and 2008 were caused by not being conservative (i.e.; crazy) enough.
Now, of course, the end result is visible in the ongoing freak show known as the Republican presidential candidate debates. When your least crazy (and of course, most “Serious” – mustn’t forget that essential Brooksian accolade) is Mitt fucking Romney, you’ve got a problem. Which can only be solved by a third party candidate, meaning a slightly less noxious Republican.
All this has been chronicled by many commentators, probably most vividly by Driftglass in more than one post:
http://driftglass.blogspot.com/2011/11/conservatives-discover-america.html
And – if readers of this blog really need to be told – the Republicans’ goals and objectives are really pretty straightforward, once all the horseshit is washed away. Laid out neatly, straight from the belly of the beast:
http://www.truth-out.org/goodbye-all-reflections-gop-operative-who-left-cult/1314907779
Unfortunately or fortunately, this ploy may prove attractive to those voters who want to believe that there really is a “centrist” alternative. There ain’t – refer to link 2 above. Repeat after me – Michael Bloomberg is a Republican. As are Guiliani, Bayh (in spirit) and all the rest.
It does get depressing sometimes, when reflecting that your alternatives are a) utterly, horribly corrupt and b) deeply corrupt, with both parties acquiesing in the ever more authoritarian rules. The 4th Amendment is dead, the 1st Amendment is on life support, and this is all just fine with both Republicans and Democrats, at least at the national level. Must keep the dirty fucking hippies in their place, no matter how often they turn out to be right.
