The Left and the Right

In my post on the Ron Paul event I marvelled at how these two ends of the political spectrum had seemingly made common cause in recent years, and wondered about where it might lead:

The interesting question in my mind is whether this could really be some new sort of politics, something really new. For example, at some point during the primary season people were bandying about the idea of a Ron Paul/Dennis Kucinich presidential ticket! Or will the issues we don't agree on end up being dealbreakers...and coalitionbreakers.
Well, yesterday Ralph Nader, Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney, and Chuck Baldwin held a news conference and announced a set of principles on which they agree.

What's next??
