I think alot of this nonsense is built around the flawed premise that most of the people who don't vote would vote if they had "better" choices. The truth is that they don't vote because they don't care. There are lots of reasons for why they don't care, but most of them have to do with their stupidity, laziness and/or ignorance.
The real movement I've been noticing has been the exodus of moderate Republicans and Independents to the Democratic Party. All around the country in 2006, there are former Republicans, young Iraq War Vets, and other new Democrats running for office and trying to restore some sanity to Washington D.C. So, in other words, there already is a Unity Party and that's the Democratic Party.
