She couldn't get on the ballot in most (if any) states. To get the Presidency, she would have to have electoral delegates cast their votes for her-- in essence, elector nullification. I think it's a far-fetched scenario, simply because I don't think the system could accomodate, or the people tolerate, a replacement candidate scenario.

Some time months ago I vaguely remember hearing that she had filed some papers somewhere just in case. As a dem she would not have to qualify the same way Nader does, state by state.
