“There is still enough time to get Uncle Joe on some later ballots so that he can collect delegates prior to the convention.”

I'm not sure of the rat party rules - but in an emergency, can't dem bosses nominate and give the nomination to anyone they want at the convention; someone off the bench?

The fact dem electors didn't vote for the nominee in the primaries should be of small concern.

Not sure of the convention rules, but I think the delegates are bound to the candidates for at least the first roll call vote. If nobody gets a majority, then delegates can change their allegiance.
