Rockport Capital’s Peter Ackerman is back in the news, but not for his business pursuits.

The former junk-bond trader at Drexel Burnham has granted Bloomberg a rare interview about his latest venture: a strange US political group called American Elect. As its chairman, Ackerman wants voters to use American Elect to choose a cross-party presidential ticket online, and then have it appear on every state ballot in the 2012 election.
