I don't see him being a serious third party candidate. He's too conservative for the Democrats and too liberal for the Republicans.

That's gonna depend on the shape of the electoral bell curve -- and how far right and left on the curve independents and lukewarm partisans consider the major-party candidates.

Traditionally, centrist third-parties have a pretty narrow sliver to work with, because both major candidates run to the center as soon as they're nominated. And on top of the typical challenges facing third parties, Nunn has been largely out of the public eye for more than a decade; Cuomo-Nunn is a Democratic dream ticker -- if you're dreaming it's 1988.

Sounds “Third Party” to me. If he were any different, why would he need to run as an Independent?
