4. She cant even manage her primary finances
Imagine the mess she'd make of trying to afford a third party run in the GE.

10. Not a full Lieberman
A quarter twist Lieberman--she will work to undermine the Democratic nominee and Democratic principles, doing so at the expense of her future political career.

12. no. for the love of reason, she's married to Bill Clinton. What do you
think such a move would do to both his and her legacy?

14. Big difference.
Lieberman was in a state race, in a state where he was popular and running against a relatively unknown.

Hillary doesn't have the advantages of that kind of scenario running as an independent for President.

At best she could do a Ross Perot and get 15-20% of the vote. That would give us President McCain.

18. Absolutely not. Hillary is a Democrat to the core of her being.
Also, she's no dummy.

20. not this again
As much as you want to imply differently, Hillary is a democrat, her base is solidly democratic. Please stop the deliberate spewing of shit.
