If by independent you include third parties, multiple reasons.  "Independents" like Teddy Roosevelt 1912 and Ross Perot 1992 actually had a shot at winning.  Third parties such as the Greens, Libertarians, and Socialist run in an effort to spread an ideology and support regional candidates.  Others run because they have massive ego problems.
