There is not anyone out there that would jump in as an independent with any credibility. Bloomberg has money and apparently toyed with the idea, but seriously, no one else. I don’t think Lyn’ Ted would abandon the part for this. Well, unless Kristol offer him role with guaranteed financing. What’s a rejected Canadian to do but then accept?
It’s also a suicide mission.
Look at the history of John Anderson. Had been in congress 20 years. So popular that he ran fro president.
Then he ran 3rd party against Reagan in 1980. He had to retire from congress, because he couldn’t even get elected dog catcher after that.
I could see Bloomberg endorsed by Romney. What has Romney got to lose sitting the back row and throwing tantrums? Until these rats are faced with total destruction they will continue to stir the pot.
