So you are saying he could possible help Obama?

I think he will help Obama. Independents like myself often vote for the third party candidate when neither is acceptable (ie Gore vs Bush). However, this year, Independents have a Democratic candidate that they can see themselves voting for; I don't think that McCain is appealing enough to Independents although he may get a few conservative leaning votes.
