&lt;p&gt;When you think about voting for an independent, give it more thought than normal. A Democrat is running on a specific platform. A Republican is running on a specifc platform. But why is an Independment running? Is it because he/she has a completely different platform? Sometimes not. An independent ran in the US Representative race against Donnelly and Walorski. What was the result? The independent took away votes from the conservative, allowing the Democrat to win. The Democrats even went so far as to promote the independent in a mailing. Dirty politics.&lt;/p&gt;
