Bipartisan Group Eyes Independent Bid (Corporate whore alert)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/29/AR2007122901476.html

I was watching CNN today, and the shitheads involved with this (Hagel, Nunn, Bloomberg, among others) essentially are saying if the parties swing too far from the center, they will have no choice but to put up a Independent to "save" the nation... save the nation meaning protecting corporate interests.

From what I gather, anyone but Hillary is to far left, Mike Huckabee is too far right.

If they pull this shit, I hope run Ron Paul runs as an independent as well and pisses on their parade.

2. No, I think at some point
we will need to confront them. I would not be surprised if we see a well funded and credible third party candidate this cycle. By credible I mean a person of stature who has the avid support of the village and the traditional media.
