Yes. No saying in an unprecedented emergency that our country has never seen before what the electors and politicians and judges will actually DO.

But I believe that if Obama is eliminated before the electoral vote, then it would go to Hillary. And if it happens between the electoral vote and the swearing in, then it would go to McCain. And if Obama is sworn in but then shown to be unqualified, then it would go to Biden or break out in civil war.

If it had happened before the election, I presume it would have gone to Hillary.

IF THIS HAPPENS, the DNC will have a lot to answer for, because it was their job to do a basic vetting on the candidates. And apparently they did not do so.

I think so too as she was 2nd runnerup so to speak.

I don't see that. The vote was for a Democrat. I see Congress picking a Dem.

The party cannot change their candidate after five days before the election, so the Dems are stuck with their non-citizen candidate.

If Hussein is knocked out of it it will go to Biden, if he gets sufficient Electoral votes. It is not really guaranteed that the Electors will all vote as they are instructed once the situation is changed by the presumptive winner being removed from contention. Do their instructions take this sort of thing into account?

The Democrats are hustling a Precedent. They believe that the whole world has a right to vote for the American President and many of them have said as much from time to time. If they can get Hussein installed and then let it become common knowledge that he is not a natural born citizen or maybe not a citizen at all, then they will have established the Precedent. And that Precedent then establishes another Precedent, that the Constitution is merely advisory. What more could they want?

Yeah, where's John Dean hiding out these days?
