The Koch’s called.
They offered Scott Walker’s piggy-bank and 20% of Kansas.

The key question, of course, is whether this would be bad news for Hillary Clinton, or bad news for the survivor of the Klown Kar Krash.

Jim Webb why keep embarrassing yourself. You’ll get less that 30,000 votes nation wide as an Independent.

He is up to 1% now, I think. A lot of pundits seem to have poured out of the woodwork to proclaim him some sort of “Blue Dog” leader after the debate. I personally didn’t see that; I saw an old right wing crank vacillating between having a hissy fit and creeping everyone out.

This is NOT a serious candidate. He has zero staff in any state. He is making on appearances in any state. He is not actively wooing donors. A near as I can tell, he is going through the motions of filing for the money from rubes and for his ego.

and once he is no longer a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination, he won’t even get time on the debates. He will become the invisible candidate

Oh, right. Democrats don’t require candidates to pledge not to run as Independents.

Senator Webb gets up to 1 percent and now all of a sudden he thinks he is winning. LOL.

Sure, why not? He has the support of…pretty much nobody. Is his fund raising good enough to support an independent campaign?
