Well more independents lean republican then democratic.

Probably because Democrats feel more "inclusive" as a "one issue" party

While the republicans tend to have little patience for those who aren't straight down the line Cons or Neo-Cons.

I mean... what's the republican paralel to Union VS Enviroment democrats?

They have basically the exact opposite economic values... and often enviromental issues.  Not that Union democrats are "screw stopping gloabl warming" but they don't believe in the extreme measures that would likely cost a lot of automaker jobs.  (for obvious reasons.)

 

That is true. The GOP has won the independent vote in 5 elections since 1976. The Democrats have one the independent vote three times since 1976. All these polls are telling us is that this will be a close election. Obama will still win (the popular vote, at least), but it will be a close election on November 4th. McCain was the one candidate (possibly Thompson) that could give the Democrats a challenge and he is doing that.
