I think the next major independent/third-party candidate is going to be Michael Bloomberg. Not because of any real political ideology (though I haven't really heard any issues with the way he's running New York) but because he's a politician and he is obscenely rich. Probably to the point of being able to outspend the Democrat and Republican candidates combined in a general election if he really wanted.
