	Stalking horse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A stalking horse is someone or something whose role is to become the focal point for, or the initiator of, a debate or challenge.
		The phenomenon occurs particularly in politics, where a junior politician acts as the stalking horse to promote the interests of a senior politician who remains unseen in case the actions would damage him or her but nevertheless wants to provoke a debate or challenge to a party colleague.
		As with Meyer, stalking horses rarely win the position of leader themselves, but provide the means for others to show their feelings, and leave the issue open for someone else to step in once the "lay of the land" is clearer.

	What exactly is a "stalking horse"? By Ed Finn
		In modern political applications of the phrase, a stalking horse is either a candidate used to divert attention from someone else's candidacy, or a candidate who splits the vote of a serious contender, perhaps unwittingly, and thus benefits a third, better-positioned candidate.
		By this second definition, Ross Perot was a stalking horse for Bill Clinton in 1992, Ralph Nader was a stalking horse for Bush in 2000, and almost any third-wheel candidate who loses could be termed a stalking horse for whoever wins.
		There are no recent examples of the former sort of stalking horse, since major party conventions have largely eliminated the back-room politicking that would allow a stealth candidate to snag the nomination at the last minute.

	Pathology of Section 363 Sales (Not as Simple as They Look)
		The protections afforded to a stalking horse generally include a combination of a break-up fee between 1% and 5% of the sale price, expense reimbursement up to a negotiated cap, minimum increments for overbids, qualification requirements for competing bidders, strict deadlines for competing bids and dates for the run-off auction, final court approval and closing.
		To avoid this risk, the potential stalking horse should talk to the seller and its advisors and tap its intelligence network to try to learn whether there are other stalking horse candidates before investing heavily in being first in line.
		The stalking horse essentially benefits in its subsequent bids since the dollar amount of the buyer protections reduces the value of the competing bids (although some courts will require the stalking horse to waive the protections if it submits a subsequent bid).

	THE MYSTERY READER reviews: The Stalking Horse By Miriam Grace Monfredo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Stalking Horse is Miriam Grace Monfredo's latest Seneca Falls historical mystery — and I heartily recommend all of her previous works.
		Her brand of history and mystery, as told from a uniquely feminine perspective, with a slight dash of romance, is usually very fine reading.
		But unlike her previous tales, The Stalking Horse takes too long to get going and there are too many distracting subplots that hinder the progress of the main story line.
