If he quits before the convention, then the procedure is simply to have an open convention where the delegates vote until someone gets a majority for nomination.
I have no idea what happens if he quits after the convention, especially if its after the state deadlines to appear on the ballot. Hmm.. I'm gonna try to figure that one out.
Can Hillary get in? Who would officially step up?
Yep. Anyone eligible to the Presidency can be nominated if Kerry quits. All they need is a majority of votes from the delegates.
