"There is no way the dems could switch candidates as you propose."
Sure they could. Kerry would just need to drop out... then the Delegates could choose a candidate at the convention just like they used to. It would be a more disorganized convention than we're used to, but that doesn't necessarily mean it would kill them.

Hillary Clinton (the only possible nominee if Kerry drops out) is even worse than Kerry: more polarizing, less polished, shrill, and would unite the Republicans even more.

But that's not like New Jersey at all. Torcelli had been nominated, and was campaigning. It was October, and the election was 3 or 4 weeks away.
If the Dems tried replacing a presidential candidate four weeks before the election because he thought he couldn't win, their name would be mud for 100 years thereafter.
