Tin foil hat time.

But what about the possibility that Obama was fronted knowing he could not legally hold the office but That Hillary would not stand during the campaign. Would it be possible for him to drop out then put her in his place at the last moment saying she should be his replacement do to her standing in the primary.

Yes, but only if 0bama win a clear majority of electors and then the Democrats manage to get at least 270 of them to unite in supporting Hillary.

Remember, when we vote for president, we are not actually voting for a candidate or presidential ticket, but actually the slate of delegates their party in that state chooses to cast a vote in the electoral college. We elect the electors, not the candidates, and those electors vote for the candidate they were elected to elect. However, there is nothing that actually compels them to vote in any particular way.

This is why 0bama is in great danger from Clinton loyalists, and McCain is in danger from Ron Paul renegades or Huckabites in the South.

I don’t believe the party would have any other choice, but who knows what sly thing they might try. I can’t believe the guy is going to be allowed to win, then we find out he doesn’t have proof that he is a citizen. Good grief. This is very strange.
