Why wouldn't independent voters continue to vote for independent candidates?
You actually think the Tea Party is independent? HA!
or
Yes, they might vote, but surely the Dems would garner their "13%" loss to the Tea Party through indendent voters, or is that too difficult to understand.

You seemed to have missed my point,an independent would vote for some other party,NOT the Dems or the Repubs.
Those independents who do so aren't independent at all.

Because there aren't that many independent candidates out there?? Most Independents vote for one or the other major party candidates, they simply don't affiliate with either of the major parties.

Not having loyalty to either party means they are free to vote any way they want to. They aren't bound by rigid party affiliation. Being free to vote for anyone they choose to vote for, whether that's a major party or smaller party like the Libertarian or Green parties. I don't see how prohibiting someone from voting for any party serves the function of non-affiliation. Being Independent doesn't mean anti-major party. It simply means that no one party (whatever the party) appeals enough to the voter's political orientation to warrant that voter affiliating with a party.
"Dear Readers: A common misconception of mainstream media’s political pundits is the claim that the “Tea Party” movement is merely a covert Republican operation. That is simply not true. I am a founder of one of the largest grassroots organizations in the nation (Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition, LLC; SoCal-TRC). I am also a registered Democrat."
Scrolling down, comments from another Dem - registered since 1975.

Umm, let me look in a mirror....hold on, getting it out....yup wow, white [well pretty tan right now], but definitely white.
Pot calling the kettle black, isn't?
No, it's not. You refuse to acknowledge that you're making charges of racism without knowing the actual demographics of the group. That qualifies as clinging to uninformed, irrational hatred and racism.

Btw, I find your sn quite ironic and laughable at best.
Perhaps that's because you deliberately choose to remain uninformed...
