Native: D’s Should Run As Independents

NativeCDA (RE: Stallings to national Democrats: To Hell with You ):  I don’t understand why candidates don’t run as Independents in Idaho. If you don’t receive funds from the national Democratic party then what’s the point of shackling yourself to the weight of the letter “D”. If Balukoff would have run as an independent I think he would have had a much better chance of winning. Hell, if any candidate that ran as a Democrat ran as an Independent they would have had a much better chance of winning.
