Here is a scary thought....
What if Clinton lost both primaries?

Could she effectively pull off an Independent run for the WH?

She COULD end up winning the GE that way...:)

1. Nope
Last week was the filing deadline for an Independent to be a candidate for President in PA.

The only way she is on the ballot is as a democrat.

2. I still don't think she could beat Obama with an Independent run. n/t

4. It's moot

The filing date has passed in most states. She couldn't run if she wanted to.

5. She'd lose all of her donors
and she's already deeply in debt

7. no
Clinton is playing for 2012, and she (and he) can continue to do that, as they did in 2004 for 2008 with Kerry.

10. I wish she would. Ironically, Hillary would probably steal more votes from Republicans. n/t

11. Remember, she's a "Goldwater girl" who threatened mass murder and genocide in the Middle East.
That plays well with the Republican base.
