Like other IPO millionaires, Andreessen is careful to point out how difficult it would be for him to sell his stock. "You can't just sum up the total value of the stock and say that that's actually what somebody has in his pocket," he says.

First, independents can vote Republican in New Hampshire and could account for 20% of the total. Forbes, everyone agrees, would win most of those ballots. Dole's other problem is intensity. So far, there isn't any. It's great to have 50,000 names on paper, but if those folks don't vote, so what? "Energizing people is hard," says state...
