I have a silly question..

What were to happen if Edwards drops out {like he says he is going too} and Kerry somehow slips up like Dean did lol..

Would Edwards still win the nod if he somehow found a way to come back..? I know this is a silly question but I was thinking of it a few minutes ago lol

Kerry won't slip up... but if he did... then Kucinich for President...

LOL..

In the words of Espn's Tony Kornheiser.. "My boy Dennis Kucinich" lol

Or...heaven forbid...Al Sharpton!

By the way.. I'm glad to see the hurricane rankings back. Those snow things were beginning to irk me lol

...or Howard Dean. He won Vermont, after all.

This thread has certainly getting quick replies in the last four minutes.

Off topic, John.

If Al Sharpton were to become president.. I'd probably kill myself..

No offense to blacks.. But he has good ideas, but would not make a good president

That's why it's in the "off topic" forum.

LOL

"JOSEPHINE96 IS THE SNOW NAZI" roflmao

Edwards is still on the ballots that were printed in whatever primaries, so if Kerry slips up, he could still be elected.

So is Dean, on today's ballots; hence he won Vermont (as I mentioned above).

I got my sample ballot and even all the other guys are on it lol

Nothing is final until the convention. It is possible for the delegates who are "committed" to a candidate to change their votes at the convention. Whatever rules there are that "bind" the delegates to a candidate can be circumvented if it is in the best interest of the party. If Kerry takes a dump they could come up with another candidate at the convention. I think the term is a "brokered convention." (Enter Hillary?)

I was going to make a joke about it being easy for democrats to circimvent rules at their convenience, but it would detract from my answer.

I don't see Hillary being in the running until 2008.

here is a question. what if bush/cheney wins, but before the electoral college can vote(remember, they dont vote till mid december), both bush and cheney die in a plane crash? how would the president be chosen then?

After President and VP.. it goes to Speaker of the House I believe

but i am referring to BEFORE the electoral college votes. remember, the popular vote means nothing. the electoral college votes determines the president. what if bush/cheney die before the electoral college votes?

Oh ok. Hmm.

im not sure myself. i would imagine they would be free to vote for anyone they wanted.
