In the primary, what do you think the chances of an independent run from someone in the general election who doesnt like the results?

If this amnesty bill passes, I think the chances are going to get real good.

Now, tho I can see a possibility of that happening. the Political mood is not quite to the point that even with 65% of the people willing ti Jump ship from their present parties I don't think they would have the confidence to jump to a third or independant party. ( and in general thinking, wasting their vote.
HOWEVER, In a few months it may be an entirely different story when more of the DITW Republicans decide that the present party is no longer their cup-of-tea.
Frankly, I would be happy to see a ground-swell for an independent third party demo/republican contestant.

With both fields wide open, no independent has a shot this year.
If this were 2004, and it was Dubya vs. Shillary (two party-line candidates), a third-party candidate would be a great option. There are no such candidates on either side this year, with the GOP nomination wide open and Hillary being seriously challenged by at least Edwards and Obama right now.
That said, if the GOP candidate is McCain, I'll vote for the Constitution Party candidate.

I think the chances are fairly good, most likely from Ron Paul, who has definitely done against the stream that everyone else is taking. I mean, his points are extremely valid, and that's the problem, he won't make it through the primaries.
