Even if she does not secure the Democratic nomination, will Hillary Clinton run for president as an independent?

Nearly a third of Democrats would like her to do so.

A new Rasmussen Reports poll out today reveals 29 percent of Democrats say she should run an independent campaign for the White House, with 61 percent opposing the idea.

Clinton supporters were evenly split about the notion.

WND is awaiting comment from the Clinton campaign regarding any possibility of an independent run.

Internet messageboards are already discussing the suggestion, with mixed comments including:

• Run, girl, run! Save us from a failed Democratic White House bid from that fraud of a candidate Obama. Democrats need to win the White House in November, we can only do it with you, Senator HRC!

• They have a description for a move like that: political suicide. ... She will forever scar herself for betraying the party she claims to have loved. She will scar the Democratic Party for putting faith into her. She will not be welcomed back with open arms. You Hillary supporters are all uneducated white people. (Hillary's words, not mine) Think about that.

• Uh, are you Democrats stupid? A vote for an independent Hillary is a vote for McCain. Obama won fairly, it's time to unite the party. Do you want four more years of Bush?

• Wow, that is a novel idea. Talk about crashing and burning your legacy. Forever for Democrats, the Clinton's name would be mud if she ran as third party. They would live in infamy. Teddy Roosevelt did this and Republicans disowned him and have never forgiven him.

• One thing she would never do is run as an independent. Only a crackpot with some weird agenda would do that.

Meanwhile, Rasmussen also reports 38 percent of Democratic voters nationwide now believe Clinton should completely drop out of the race for the White House. That's up slightly from 34 percent in late April, 32 percent  earlier in April and 22 percent  in late March.
