What happens if...
Icahn's slate wins (this is still a serious possibility) and MS still isn't interested in buying, or would only be willing at a greatly reduced price? I would think that Icahn would have no choice but to run Yahoo as an ongoing business, at least in the short term, to keep from losing too much of his investment (would serve him right).

I would think that Icahn, experienced raider that he is, would have a contingency plan to deal with such a situation, but I guess that remains to be seen.
