The news today is that Daniels has announced that on Tax Day, she will reveal whether she intends to challenge incumbent republican David Vitter in this year's Louisiana Senate race. In other words, it's almost a certainty she's running. But here's the real question: Will she run as an Independent? She formed an exploratory committee about a year ago concerning this race, and so far she has not declared a party, leaving open the possibility that she'll be an Independent.Now, I've often said that I would like to see a hell of a lot more Independents running for office instead of just settling for choosing between the lesser of two evils in every single election. But is that agenda really advanced if it's a porn star that's running as an Independent? Well, I guess not exactly. But still, how hilarious would it be for someone like that to run as an Independent and actually toss a dem or repub out of office? I would love it. And in the crazy political climate we have this year (in which Independents are angrier that I've ever seen them in my life), more Independents should run. You never know, you might just win.
