I don’t put it past the Democrats to replace the whole ticket in Oct when they are 15% behind. It could be Gore Clinton in Nov. Just remember you heard it from me first!
Fortunately, most States are not like New Jersey. So a national version of the Lautenberg-Torricelli Switch isn't likely to occur.

I’ve been thinking the same thing, but don’t think its legal way. Not that that will stop the other party from trying (I lived in Missouri in 2000 when the dems couldn’t replace Carnahan on the Senate ticket but illegally announced who would replace him).
But does anyone know the rules for if an officially nominated candidate drops out after the convention? Does the replacement have to get so many signatures from each state? Would the Supreme Court have a say?
