Operation Chaos, Phase II: We must encourage Hillary to run as an Independent.
I wonder if Billary are so p*****ed off that they might think they don’t need the Democrat party, they can run on their own.
We’ll see. This campaign has really exposed feelings about the Clintons. This campaign has shown that the Clintons are not loved by big numbers of Democrats. When she was “inevitable”, people supported her because they expected she would be the nominee, and that nobody else would come along to change that.
I think a big part of the vote for Obama has been the ABC (Anybody But Clinton) vote among Democrat primary voters. When he emerged as the prime threat to Hillary, his support grew steadily.
Whereas some of those “hard working white voters” voted for Hillary ONLY because she was the last man standing against Obama, not because they just love Hillary that much.
It raises an interesting question: If Clinton makes an independent run for the White House, does that mean she's renouncing her Democrat party affiliation and becomes and Independent Senator (like Sanders and Lieberman), caucusing with the Democrats?
I can't see how she remains a Democrat Senator while opposing the Democrat candidate for President.

Yes, Hillary should run as an independent. McCain, too. Then maybe a conservative will show up to lead the Republicans.
Strange as it may seem, I’ve never heard that suggested before. It’s brilliant!
$20 says that right now MacCain's team is making overtures to Hillzilla.
