    Default Will Hillary Run As An Independent?

    This is another option Hillary might consider. This will turn the November election upside down



    Hillary Clinton As An Independent Candidate for President? This Fight Could Go On Beyond The Convention

    By Joe Rothstein
    Editor, USpoliticstoday.com

    How long will this Clinton-Obama marathon continue?

    Possibly into November.

    Consider this scenario:

    --After the last primary election votes are counted in South Dakota and Montana June 3 just enough superdelegates declare for Obama to insure his nomination by the thinnest of margins.

    --Hillary Clinton claims that the decision to exclude the Florida and Michigan delegations has distorted the nominating process and that the only way to have a fair resolution to this year's campaign is to carry the fight into the general election. She decides to run as an independent.

    Unlikely? How can anyone discount any bizarre development in this strangest of presidential election campaign years? In fact, some Clinton insiders have been floating this very possibility. At the moment, a Clinton independent candidacy is viewed as an idle threat, designed to pressure superdelegates with a party disaster if they don't nominate Clinton. But when you look at the electoral college calculus, an independent run could represent a realistic path to the White House for Clinton.

    Nope, I don't think she's that eager to see the party go down in flames.

    I do see her hanging on, at least until the money runs out. I think she should stay in, she's won 2 out of the last 3 primaries. The only reason the MSM is calling for her to exit is because they're so infatuated with Obama for some stupid reason.

    Nah. No one has ever won that way, and by splitting the Democrat vote she'll be seen as denying a black man the chance to be president. She will tepidly support him in public and work the back rooms to defeat him, thus setting herself up for 2012. This woman thinks long term.

    She will become the patient victim of a racist man, just like she became the patient victim of a philanderer, and will use both ploys in 2012.

    Time wil tell, but running as an Independent is an option

    If it looks like she could take the Electoral College (the popular vote does not matter) you know she will go for it

    She can also go to court to seat the FL and MI delegates

    There is still alot of life in the Clinton campaign - and so the war goes on

    Which is a good thing for McCain. He needs all the help he can get

    But the Clintons can sure wreck the party

    Hillary is getting the key votong blocks needed to win the Electoral College. Barry is losing those blocks. Don't get me wrong, at this point both Hillary and Obama are damaged goods

    I am just hoping Hilary will continue to fight, and kee[ the war within the Dem party going

    As well because she's losing by a large margin, and is increasing using attacks that have absolutely no moral fiber left to them.
