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.

In 1972, Senator Thomas Eagleton had to step down as George McGovern's VP candidate after the Democrat convention. McGovern picked Sargent Shriver as his Veep for the ticket several weeks later, and the Dem delegates approved him almost unanimously. There was no second convention, to my recollection, though I'm not sure how the delegates were polled.

It's my understanding that the delegates do have to vote on Kerry .. but they can also have another vote and nominate someone else if Kerry doesn't get a majority

I also read a comment from a Freeper that the DNC are replacing many of the delegates and many are ticked off by that ... I don't know how true that is though..

And take note that the dem candidates never dropped out of the race .. they just withdrew from the primary race

Also to throw into the mix ... remember what happen with Torricelli

I honestly have no idea what the DNC/Hellery are up to .. but you can bet they are up to no good
