Won't they try to sneak over and join the independent party, like Leiberman, if it is successful?
They just put on another stripe but it will be the same cats.
Q. Does the Independent Party have a chance?

I remain Independent, but I do not believe in splitting the vote. I am not an Independent because I approve of neither party, I just wish to vote on the person and the issues. That is the way it works out best for me. Up until 2004, the Republicans generally got my vote. After the experience of the last six years, and the tactics used by the Republicans, I actually may just join the Democratic Party and call it a day. I can't think of one good reason that any Republican should get my vote in the future. These are not the Republicans I used to vote for, these are pod people. There are a lot of Independents and moderates from the Republican Party who feel very much like I do. I know, I'm politically active locally, and I live in a primarily Republican district. I'm shocked at the number of our friends, who have been Republican their whole lives, that intend to vote for a Democratic President in Nov '08. Fully one half of them. Independents and moderates handed the Congress to the Democrats, I believe they will do the same in November 08.

Why do people keep talking about the Independent Party. There is no Independent Party. To be a member of the party kind of goes against the definition of Independent.
There are parties with Independent in the name. They typically lean one way pr the other, however when a candidate is registered as an Independent he is just that, Independent.

No the Independent party has no chance! It's a pure joke. All it does is steal votes from legitimate candidates

the independent party isnt as big as the others and someday they might come up and take over the other but there beliefs differ from the prelcs and the dems so neiither partys would switch to that pary because there bliefs differ.

There is no "Independent Party". Candidates, registered voters etc are referred to as "independent" because they choose not to belong to a political party.
