Shit its been a long time since I got it together. Still, I have been wondering why we haven't heard anything about an independent run by HRC or Obama. Of the two I think Obama has the easier path here. He can raise seemingly endless oodles of money at the drop of a hat. A large portion of his appeal already comes from independents.
Surely both candidates must have have considered it and discussed the pros and cons. Why haven't our glorious media pundits lavished thie genius predictions on us about this one? More importantly why hasn't Obama played this card with the supers? That would seem to knock HRC out of the box. A third party (or fourth if you count Nader) run by Obama would basically guarantee that the Dems do not take the White House. In all likelihood it hands the election to McCain on a platter, but I suppose their is some small chance that Obama could eke it out on his own. Either way, the Dems lose out. Seems like a pretty powerful bargaining chip to me.
