Steve Turley was talking about this a day or two ago... He seemed to think that the dems have waited too long, e.g. that states will beprinting up ballots in another week or thereabouts, and that dems are stuck with the stumblebum?
Opinions??
They've done it before.
When LBJ dropped out in '68, Hubert Humphrey "inherited" his pledged delegates and became the Dem nominee despite never winning a single primary race.
Their bench:
Newsom
Hochul
Whitmer
Michelle, Obama’s belle
Granholm
Murphy of NJ
Kaine of VA
Pritzker of IL
....
If you can say you will support baby murder with a straight face, have multi-state name recognition and aren’t a Republican or convicted criminal, you’re qualified.
Harris doesn’t help nor hurt Biden. Only our side despises her.
Democrats could care less.
With regard to Biden, it is too late to replace him.
Mike Obama and Hillary, in either order.
Joe’s gone before Aug. 1. Jill will follow in October.
The reason I think they want Harris gone is to select a VP nominee who will step into the White House immediately if Biden should win.
Florida Statute
101.62 Request for vote-by-mail ballots.—
(1)1(a) The supervisor shall accept a request for a vote-by-mail ballot from an elector in person or in writing. One request is deemed sufficient to receive a vote-by-mail ballot for all elections through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election, unless the elector or the elector’s designee indicates at the time the request is made the elections within such period for which the elector desires to receive a vote-by-mail ballot. Such request may be considered canceled when any first-class mail sent by the supervisor to the elector is returned as undeliverable.
(b) The supervisor may accept a written, an in-person, or a telephonic request for a vote-by-mail ballot to be mailed to an elector’s address on file in the Florida Voter Registration System from the elector, or, if directly instructed by the elector, a member of the elector’s immediate family, or the elector’s legal guardian. If an in-person or a telephonic request is made, the elector must provide the elector’s Florida driver license number, the elector’s Florida identification card number, or the last four digits of the elector’s social security number, whichever may be verified in the supervisor’s records. If the ballot is requested to be mailed to an address other than the elector’s address on file in the Florida Voter Registration System, the request must be made in writing. A written request must be signed by the elector and include the elector’s Florida driver license number, the elector’s Florida identification card number, or the last four digits of the elector’s social security number. However, an absent uniformed service voter or an overseas voter seeking a vote-by-mail ballot is not required to submit a signed, written request for a vote-by-mail ballot that is being mailed to an address other than the elector’s address on file in the Florida Voter Registration System. For purposes of this section, the term “immediate family” has the same meaning as specified in paragraph (4)(c). The person making the request must disclose:
1. The name of the elector for whom the ballot is requested.
2. The elector’s address.
3. The elector’s date of birth.
4. The elector’s Florida driver license number, the elector’s Florida identification card number, or the last four digits of the elector’s social security number, whichever may be verified in the supervisor’s records.
5. The requester’s name.
6. The requester’s address.
7. The requester’s driver license number, the requester’s identification card number, or the last four digits of the requester’s social security number, if available.
8. The requester’s relationship to the elector.
9. The requester’s signature (written requests only).
(c) Upon receiving a request for a vote-by-mail ballot from an absent voter, the supervisor of elections shall notify the voter of the free access system that has been designated by the department for determining the status of his or her vote-by-mail ballot.
(2) A request for a vote-by-mail ballot to be mailed to a voter must be received no later than 5 p.m. on the 10th day before the election by the supervisor. The supervisor shall mail vote-by-mail ballots to voters requesting ballots by such deadline no later than 8 days before the election.
(3) For each request for a vote-by-mail ballot received, the supervisor shall record: the date the request was made; the identity of the voter’s designee making the request, if any; the Florida driver license number, Florida identification card number, or last four digits of the social security number of the elector provided with a written request; the date the vote-by-mail ballot was delivered to the voter or the voter’s designee or the date the vote-by-mail ballot was delivered to the post office or other carrier; the address to which the ballot was mailed or the identity of the voter’s designee to whom the ballot was delivered; the date the ballot was received by the supervisor; the absence of the voter’s signature on the voter’s certificate, if applicable; whether the voter’s certificate contains a signature that does not match the elector’s signature in the registration books or precinct register; and such other information he or she may deem necessary. This information shall be provided in electronic format as provided by division rule. The information shall be updated and made available no later than 8 a.m. of each day, including weekends, beginning 60 days before the primary until 15 days after the general election and shall be contemporaneously provided to the division. This information shall be confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1) and shall be made available to or reproduced only for the voter requesting the ballot, a canvassing board, an election official, a political party or official thereof, a candidate who has filed qualification papers and is opposed in an upcoming election, and registered political committees for political purposes only.
(4)(a) No later than 45 days before each presidential preference primary election, primary election, and general election, the supervisor of elections shall send a vote-by-mail ballot as provided in subparagraph (c)2. to each absent uniformed services voter and to each overseas voter who has requested a vote-by-mail ballot.
(b) The supervisor shall mail a vote-by-mail ballot to each absent qualified voter, other than those listed in paragraph (a), who has requested such a ballot, between the 40th and 33rd days before the presidential preference primary election, primary election, and general election. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (2) and after the period described in this paragraph, the supervisor shall mail vote-by-mail ballots within 2 business days after receiving a request for such a ballot.
(c) The supervisor shall provide a vote-by-mail ballot to each elector by whom a request for that ballot has been made by one of the following means:

“The reason I think they want Harris gone is...”
I suspect Harris has some integrity:
“My vision of a progressive prosecutor was someone who used the power of the office with a sense of fairness, perspective, and experience, someone who was clear about the need to hold serious criminals accountable and who understood that the best way to create safe communities was to prevent crime in the first place. To do those things effectively, you also need to run a professional operation.”

It would just prove his detractors were right and his apologists were right.
They are stuck between the proverbial Rock and a Hard Place.
The Dems will declare any vote on the Democrats ticket will go to the Democrats running regardless of the name.
I’ll need to replay some old Bob Grant radio broadcasts to recall the Torricelli details
“It’s sick and getting sicker”
No matte who the party selects to run they are all like Joe Biden.
Never too late. The Dems always find a way to be on top (since a long time ago).
Can take out the already prepared news media scripts “Tonight, let’s take a fresh look at our historic new President Kamala Devi Harris.” “Overlooked and vastly underestimated, President Harris shows a command of facts and decision making that puts other leaders to shame.” “Like Truman, underestimated and surprisingly strong Kamala Harris takes full command.”
Or, “Never taking a moment to look back, Supreme Court Justice Harris will be an asset as President Newsom sets America on a progressive path.”
Good one.
Like the surprising night I watched TV with many others and could hardly believe LBJ said he was not going to run for re-election after all.

RE: I suspect Harris has some integrity
Sorry, but I cannot agree.
Law and Order SVU Chief McGrath:
“Wait a minute. You’re all making a mistake. You’re talking like they’re humans. They’re not. They’re politicians.”
Actually, the DNC rules for replacing the Presidential nominee if incapacitated are largely unchanged from 2020.
Here is the 2020 rule: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3848088/posts
IX. Procedural Rules of the 2020 Democratic National Convention
G. Filling a Vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies.

IX. Procedural Rules of the 2024 Democratic National Convention
G. Filling a Vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies.
Per wiki, In 2021, Jaime Harrison was selected by President Joe Biden to Chair the Democratic National Committee, and his nomination was approved by its members.
The Current Leadership is:
Chair: Jaime Harrison, former Chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party
Executive Director: Sam Cornale, former Chief of Staff of the Democratic National Committee
Deputy Executive Director: Roger Lau, former Campaign Manager for Elizabeth Warren for President
Political Director: Alana Mounce, former Executive Director of the Nevada State Democratic Party
Chief of Staff: Anatole Jenkins, former National Organizing Director for Kamala Harris For The People
Vice Chair of Civic Engagement and Voter Participation: Keisha Lance Bottoms
Vice Chairs:
Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan
Tammy Duckworth, U.S. Senator from Illinois
Ken Martin, Chair of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party
Treasurer: Virginia McGregor
Secretary: Jason Rae
Finance Chair: Chris Korge
In addition, a National Advisory Board exists for purposes of fundraising and advising the executive. The present chair is Elizabeth Frawley Bagley, former U.S. Ambassador to Portugal.
My call is that he will be “grievously incapacitated” by a medical event or “die” prior to the election with the demonRats utilizing it as a hail mary pass for the sympathy vote.
I think Trump needs to cancel the 6/28 debate. We want Biden, and we don’t want a situation where Biden looks so bad that the Dems will demand he be replaced. It is NOT too late for Dems to replace him, b/c technically Biden is not the official Dem nominee until the Democrats nominate him in August.
She can spend more time with the family, maybe help her adult stepdaughter with fashion advice.
Maybe they could say her husband is eager to get back to his career , his law practice that he had in LA. We were told he gave all that up to move to Washington when she was elected vice president.
