She may have made a point!!!

Independence is not for the sheep, but for the shepherd.

I’d vote for her. Beats the other candidates. Who’d be her VP?

So they can see the spelling in each other’s word balloons?

Yah. She’d make Meg Whitman or Carly Fiorina look good.

There are lots of “independent” voters, which in my mind includes those otherwise labelled as “non-partisan” or follow any of the multitude of “third parties” (are there any fourth and fifth parties?), and perhaps even “swing voters”. I remember that my mother was supposedly registered as “declined to state” (in California in the 1970’s). Still, I think most “independents” will vote as either D or R. Of course there have been several semi-viable third party or independents over the last few decades (George Wallace in 1968; John Anderson in 1980; and Ross Perot in 1992 [and 1996?] come to mind).

I used to belong to one of the parties, but had to change to independent because I couldn’t support a straight party line on either side. In most elections I liked candidates on both sides for different reasons.
