Can Hillary run as a Democrat but not the Democratic nominee?
Just wondering if this is possible or if she would have to run as an independent.

5. I think it's too late for her to get her name on the ballot
in all 50 states as an independent. But the way she's going at this makes me think she's up to something.

It's easier than that. There are only 12 states in Clinton America. You're thinking of real America.

6. I thought of the same thing---
she could run as an independent. Wonder how Dean and the rest of the so-called leaders, and the Obama camp and his supporters would react to that one!!! I would like to see a viable candidate, as Clinton, run as an independent. That would be awesome!!!!

7. Yes she can according to
The "Separate but Equal" clause that was upheld by the US case of Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537.

This little known clause and court case are unknown to many Hillary supporters but two out of
10 voters, in West Virginia, had the case confused with something else.
