I sense a Toricelli switcheroo brewing.

Nope, the RATS are stuck with this dud. Ballots are already being printed in many states, and it would be too late for any replacement. GOP controls the state legislature in more than half the states.

But this is a Clinton we are talking about.

Blue states will allow the switch, most red states won't.

She will sue to allow votes for Kerry to be counted for her (as Mondale did in MN).

The USSC will be very, very reluctant to get involved.

thanks for posting that.

Of course, the democrats can ignore rules ... in certain states, ala torocelli, but it seems weird that they could get by with it nationally.

but what if something drastic happened to remove Kerry from contention, i.e. illness; if he withdrew, etc.

Who would be the nominee then? Would it be Edwards or would it just go to the convention as in the old days?

Does anyone know?
