I totally agree, there should be some sort of alternative coalition. However, I wonder if getting Libertarians like Ron Paul and Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin to join hands with Greens and Progressives like Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader might be harder than it appears. They definitely agree on ending the war and on fiscal responsibility, but on social programs there's a huge difference of opinion. Still, I guess we have to start somewhere...

The news each day suggests that the bailout hasn’t solved the problem. Rather, the economic contagion is going global, with European and Asian banks teetering on the brink of collapse.

I missed that in the news. Thanks for including it in the post. Now, a joint statement should be grounds, especially in this crisis phase, for some discussion of coalition building as opposed to fractured campaigns that fail to build alternative institutions strong enough to present a meaningful challenge! ~g Interesting joint statement at the end.
