If Hillary gets the nomination, and Obama runs as an independent, then it hands the election over to McCain. But I think Obama's likely to get the nomination, and if he doesn't he won't run as an independent. And he's proven he can raise money which is always a big problem for a third party in the US. What's the significant ideological or policy difference between Obama and Clinton, or between Obama and Democrats in general, that would provide the reason for a new party?

"Put Hagel in the VP position and you could pull in some moderate Republicans....." And don't forget the independents. Which I think a third party would appeal to.
