Let me start by saying I believe nothing will come of this, simply because we don’t seem to have that kind of luck these days.
That being said, it kills me that people think Hillary would breathlessly step in and run even with less than 2 weeks left. For starters this would be a huge mess on the ballots in all 50 states and I can’t even imagine where it would go legally. Second nominating a guy who was never eligable to be POTUS is the kind of thing a party would take years to recover from, if anything Hillary would out running her mouth about pulling the party back together in the next 4 years.
Not a problem. The dems elected the wife of a deceased politician, anyone who voted for him was counted as voting for her. Not a peep for the press or the courts. The precedent that votes seamlessly transfer to the party's real candidate is firmly in place.

I hope you are correct, we should run against that lack of diligence and judgment for decades to come.
It's more likely that the democrat party will simply re-brand itself with the same tired faces marching under a new banner. Perhaps the Hope Party, as a tip of the hat to Bill's home town, and 0bama's slogan?
