All this reminds me...as an independent, starting her effort in June, how many states could she reasonably expect to get ballot access in? I know that my homeland of TX, along with its lesser neighbor, OK, would be nearly impossible. Any other states like that?
Here's a link to a list of requirements and how well the third parties and Nader are doing in gaining access as of May 1:

Technically, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona are the only states that if she were to start June 4th to collect signatures that she would be legally unable to get on the ballot, if she had not already run as a Democrat. Oklahoma has the toughest ballot access laws and was the only State to have only Bush and Kerry on the ballot in 2004.
