That would be a gift from Heaven for the GOP.

Split the Dem vote, McCain goes in on a Landslide. Classic divide-and-conquer.

We should be so lucky!

Should Hillary run as an Independent

Yep and my bet is she will. she will get half of obamas votes and show the dems to be the idiots they are. I luv it.

One could argue that the DNC elite, which is for Obama, considers these voters as perhaps less than even the slaves of the Old Democratic Party South.

Yesterday I saw a silver Prius with Obama stickers. Curiously, the car also sported a sticker with dogs on it reading "We Bark for Obama." I wonder if the car's owners realized their Party's history with regards to slaves and, in that light, the second bumper sticker was particularly racist.

Absolutely!

With Bloomberg as her running mate.

They'd both be happy for her to be on top...

[SampleMan]

She knows better. If she doesn't concede on Tuesday, she'll be going for the jugular at the convention.

Whatever card she has to play will hit the table 48 hours before the vote. Just long enough to fully fester, but not so long as to lose its effect.

Even she's not that power-mad to be that blindly stupid. Way before she'd go third party, she'd just go through the minimum motions of supporting Barry O, with an eye on running against McCain in 2012.

She'd count on the feminazis having long memories. Ask any man with a wife if women can hold grudges. Hell, ask any man with an ex-wife!

[Zack Attack]

I’d love it if she did. She’d essentially be pulling a Lieberman on the Democrats if she did that...with the exception being she’d not win as an independent like Joe.

[Twinkie]

Yes. Hillary Clinton should run on a 3rd Party Ticket. Hillary Ross Perot Clinton.

1) Slaves had NO vote.

2) Slaves counted as 3/5 of a person towards deciding proportional representation issues.

But I'm all for Hillary peeling votes away from Obama.

There are lots of FReepers who will vote for her. They hate McCain and have lots in common with her bud Harriet Christian

It's been a while since Communist Party USA ran a candidate. They might be interested.

[Kirkwood]

Run Baby, Run!!!

Even the slaves in the old slavery states were considered “3/4th’s of a person” under law

I believe that was 3/5. Still, it may be asking a bit much thinking a hillary supporter can actually read.

I s'pect if you are a B. Hussein fan you think there are United States, uh, states numbering 57, 58 or 59 or something in that neighborhood.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The ultimate insult was giving Obama nearly half the Michigan votes even though he wasn’t on the ballot. Truthfully, Obama is even more dangerous than Hillary because at least Hillary has a bit of reality in dealing with the world whereas Obama is a Pollyanna who would be eviscerated by the people who hate our guts.

Check out Laws of Virginia, 1752, Chapter XLII — also Laws of Virginia, 1755, Chapter X.

Actually thats a good point.. ALL democrats should be worthy of 1/2 of a real vote.. except the illegal alien ones.. They should be awarded a minus -1/2 of a real vote..

Clinton is a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them. No Independent. No third party.
