There's nothing in the Constitution governing the behavior of parties, or how they bring candidates to the election. I'd surmise there's little in state election law either that the parties couldn't make a case for overriding if they were determined enough.

Exactly! Remember how they jury-rigged the replacement of Sen. Toracelli - or however his name is spelled - in New Jersey. That was such a unlawful farce and if the DNC didn't have the MSM in their back pocket, there would have calls for hangings.

Thanks, that's the perfect example. How a party brings a candidate to the table is a party matter, not a matter of federal election law.

Sure, there are all sorts of state regs, but the Torecelli matter makes it clear that those laws can be mangled and twisted by the ultimate interests of the party itself.

And the DNC is dominated by Clintonians.

We're getting closer to the "unfortunate accident" that will claim JFKerry (personally I think he will commit suicide and then hide his body) and force Hitlery to accept an emergency nomination with McCain as VP.

That's right. As I recall the NJ Supreme Court ruled essentially that they didn't care what the law was, it wasn't "fair" that the Democratic Party be represented by a candidate who had no chance of winning.

It would be no surprise, since the MSM is the PR arm of the Democratic Party, if the same sort of thing was foisted on the public on a national level to the delight of the smirking crowd, if it came to that.

sKerry would probably plunge into a sudden deep depression and commit "Arkansas-suicide" to clear the way though. I don't think his big head would allow him to step aside voluntarily...afterall, he is more important than anything else.
