Hillary Clinton to Run as Third Party Candidate?
Pure Vanity ^ | 4/18/08 | Patrick1

Posted on 04/18/2008 8:00:13 PM PDT by Patrick1

Is the ultimate outcome of Operation Chaos a third party bid by Hillary? Could her and Bill's egos be so large that they would bolt the Democrat Party to make a third party bid?

Perhaps. Let us think about the possibility. Hillary wins Pennsylvania by ten points, wins Indiana and loses North Carolina and Kentucky. She still makes up no ground on Obama in delegates but keeps winning these big states. Hers and Bills ego alarms go off when on Wednesday Howard Dean tells them to get out of the race.

Then comes the visit. By Algore and Jimmy Carter of all people telling her to get out. The Messiah's press pile on. This is too much for Bill and Hillary to take.

"If they can't see our nation needs us then to Hell with them we will see how we do in the Electoral College with these big states." says Hillary. So on Thursday after the Pennsylvania primary she makes her announcement that she is forming the We Are Not Completely Nuts Party and announces that Geraldine Ferraro for old times sake will be her running mate.

Pass the popcorn.

You had me with you, right up until that.

Hillary would never allow another woman access to that much power, unless it's Huma.

Cat fight in the OVal Office???

What? You missed my memo? Crystal ball says DemoDreamTicket is:

GORE/OBAMA

And unless you two are dating, please refer to that woman against whom Algonquin J. Obama is running, as

Mrs. Bill Clinton

Hillary was some dude from New Zealand who scaled mountains in Nepal. Also the name of a lawyer from Chicago and somehow Senator from New York who would like you to forget she's married to old what's 'is name. You know? Monica Lewinsky's boyfriend?

Hillary has two options:

-Fight it out at the Convention, which she would probably lose as the superdelegates don’t seem to be turning her way or

-Go third party, which has been suggested by Patrick1 today at FR.

Either way, she has NO chance unless she moves right on illegal immigration. Her ONLY chance to distance herself from the Obamanation and McJerk is to take what I call “The Heath Shuler Route”, the Blue Dog way. If she wants to win Independent votes, she’ll have to talk tough—AND be believable—on the Invasion and other law and order issues. Independents are NOT liberals, for the most part. They want our Border secured. Many want illegals to leave the country. She has GOT to abandon her liberal ideology!! She has a window, not a long one, but a window within which to “make the change”. It will be seen as lot of b.s. She’ll have to make people realize she means business. And that means appearing on stage with her current enemies. She needs to get on the Sheriff Joe wagon! That sort of thing.

If she does this, she’s got a chance to win the nomination AND beat McAmnesty in the general.

Right can we have 3 candidates in the general, but no choices? Alas I am with Sowell on this, only Obama or Clinton could convince me to vote for McCain and they have.

......she has NO chance unless she moves right....

Hey, I'm convinced. She shoots guns behind the old cabin with Gramps, she dodges sniper fire, she drinks whiskey, her great grandmother ran a whorehouse in Scranton ... AND ... she was a genuine Goldwater Girl. It's all coming back to me now.....

Hey, maybe we can draft her at OUR convention!

After she dumps Bill she could call it the “Starter Wives Party”.

There’s an old political party name (the Prigs) that provides a jumping off point. Now, what sounds like that and fits the Klintoons? Hmm, gotta think on that.

It wouldn’t be the first time. Teddy Roosevelt bolted the Republican Party in 1912 to form the Bull Moose Party. I thought about this possibility several times today.

It would be the ultimate nuclear option to play against Obama. If anyone could pull it off it would be the Clintons. There are a lot of pissed off Clinton supporters who see Obama as a big stupid joke. He has as much business being president as my pet cat. Totally unqualified; hangs out with racists and bomb throwers. The constitution is not a suicide pact. If the Clinton feel strongly enough, then let’s just have it out and be done with it. Obama must be stopped however steep the cost. He is unqualified in more ways than we can count.

Frankly, I hope she does if it comes to that.

Hmmmmm ..?? That’s an interesting thought.

You know .. from the beginning Hillary has had Soros funds supporting her .. and she doesn’t need the DNC or their puny money.

I’m not sure she has the guts to do it .. but I’m not sure I’d be that surprised if she did.

Actually, I think I would like it better if they bring back the name of a third party that existed in the 1850s. The Know-Nothings.

Let's do a good third candidate ourselves. Why not make it fun and profitable.

I think there is a real possibility that hillary runs as a third party candidate. Can you imagine if she runs with slick as her running mate (if that is even legal). Now that would be some show, and quite frankly, I think they could pull it off - and, for the record, the last thing I ever want to see is the clintons in the White House again...
