One scenario to consider.
Excuse me if this is a repeat, but it occurs to me ...that given the fact that Hillary has no intention of bowing out, no matter what...is it possible that she might have to run as an Independant, or that she might try to push Obama out of the way(convincing him.. maybe the way they "convinced"-Edwards!!) leaving her as the Dem candidate, and that HE - would run as an Independant? She is not going to ever give up, and I also see a whole lot of Dems that will be mad as hell if Obama is "pushed" out of the way for any reason. He has too much support to ever have to leave, ...would he run as an Indie?

I guess what got me on this...is I don't think either of them has a vision of leaving the race at all! He doesn't need to- She...?

1. Lieberman set a pattern for the "poor loser" scenario whereby when
you lose in one forum, you resurrect your candidacy in another.

2. She certainly could... and she would be a pariah
That's the Joe Lieberman route... and it would not
surprise me one bit if Hillary was as self-absorbed as Joe.

5. 6 days
Till the March fundraising numbers come in. I don't hear the rumors of a big haul like I did the week before the end of February. Keep your fingers crossed.

4. She's not going to run as an independent
you guys are letting your hatred turn into paranoia.

7. Dammit, I don't HATE HILLARY!
I was trying to look at the prospects of logistics and outcome! A person can decidedly be against one candidate without resorting to hatred!

9. No person whose mind isn't clouded
can reasonably fear Clinton running as an independent.

8. I don't think it would help her get votes if she did anyway.
