Can Hillary be nominated from the floor?

Kerry has sufficient delegates committed to him to win on the first ballot. They may not leave him without his permission until after the first ballot.

Therefore, for Hillary to be nominated from the floor, one of two conditions must obtain:

1. Kerry voluntarily releases his delegates prior to the first ballot. I don't think this egotistical, overbearing fool is willing to do that.

2. Kerry is the victim of an Arkanicide prior to the first ballot.

If the 2nd event happens, and Hillary wins on a floor nomination, KBTD.

They may not leave him without his permission until after the first ballot.

Assuming Democrats follow the rules.

In other words, Kerry already has the nomination locked up since the delegates can't change their minds? I didn't know that. Hmm. Well, I guess we are facing Kerry then.

There is almost zero chance he would release his delegates (unless of course something really damaging comes out and gets press for several weeks).

I wonder if Hillary has Kerry's FBI files, medical records, and videos of his philandering. I bet she does. She could mastermind all sorts of nasty leaks that would ruin him and probably spell the end of his access to all that lovely Heinz money. I can see Kerry stepping aside...after another staged doctor visit. The RATs would be thrilled to pick Hill.
