Another FReeper posted that Obama chose his electors from the party faithful so they wouldn't be McCain supporters and it's doubtful they'd choose Hillary although they could. I don't see how Biden could be chosen as he was picked by Obama and ran for VP, not Prez. And if Obama is found ineligible, is his VP pick also ineligible? Are his electors ineligible to vote if the Dems knowingly ran someone that didn't qualify?

Aren't the ins and outs of this fascinating?

To paraphrase Al-Zawahiri, Biden is the real “house negro” if you take that phrase at a literal sense.

I said when Biden was picked as VP candidate that he was on the ticket because of one reason - he’s the token white “WASP” guy.

As I understand it the Electors aren't really bound to vote for any particular person and can choose to vote for anyone who is eligible. Since they are picked by the party and are known to solidly back the "winner" of the popular vote the conclusion is foregone.

Now, if the "winner" is suddenly declared ineligible... well, then it gets interesting.

What I find hard to believe is that someone has gotten this far along in the process without his eligibility being absolutely, beyond question, 100% verified.

The majority wins.

the 270 is assuming a two person race.

If the big Zero's electors go evenly for for Hillary, Biden, and just to be funny say Edwards; McCain wins with less than 270 because he got the "Majority".

What say you?
