Officially the reason that the DNC is going with a ‘virtual roll call’ for the Biden nomination is the issue in Ohio. But Gov. DeWine has offered to quickly pass a bill to make sure that Biden will still be on the ballot.
The DNC’s decision to switch to a virtual roll call may be exploiting worries about Ohio, but like the rest of its campaign decisions has more to do with locking in the nomination for Biden while avoiding a floor fight.
Most people refused to believe me when I told them that Biden would run or the party would nominate him. Most people I talk to still believe that Newsom (or even more implausibly Michelle Obama) are going to swoop in at the convention. And while nothing is absolutely impossible including Biden being replaced by Alf, if that were going to happen, it likely would have happened already. Democrats had plenty of time to get it done.
A completely panicked convention move isn’t impossible, but it would more likely come from leftists trying to force more concessions than from a motivated party coup. And that’s what this is trying to head off.
If the party or major power players wanted to replace Biden, they’d do it behind the scenes, they would strip away his insiders and aides, communicate to them that their careers will be over unless they tell their boss to step down, and then there would be an official announcement that Biden’s health has taken a turn for the worse. It could still happen, but for now there’s no sign of it.
Biden may be out to lunch, but his people are in control of the DNC (even if not to the same degree as Hillary’s people) and they are going to nominate their man even if he has to be...

The Rats are placing all their bets that Trump goes to jail.
Maybe. In fact, DeWine has not been able to deliver a special law for Biden, special sessions of the Ohio legislature historically have resisted passing special bills, and it never looked good for this one. The failure of the DNC to respect Ohio law, for whatever reason, is a real thing.
No Michelle popping out of the cake, tanned, rested and ready? Whew! Good if true. There are too many gratuitously gullible goblins who would vote for her without giving it a thought.
When it comes to Democrats, you can only know for certain what they are up to after the fact. Maybe Michelle might swoop in at the last minute and maybe she won’t, but we can’t say for certain that she won’t until it is unquestionably too late for her to do so.
They have always believed image is more important than reality, and they can force reality to conform with what they want.
We may be reaching the point where this inability to understand reality will do them great damage.
If they don’t get Biden’s name printed on the Ohio ballot, it’ll be too difficult to steal the election in that state.
If it’s a write-in, it’ll just be too easy to see that only a handful of people are producing thousands of votes.
..... I have a feeling that when it breaks bad on Joe's health front, they will simply switch the nomination to Kamala Harris as the Presidential nominee and add Michelle Obama as the VP running mate just to keep it simple. Michelle will draw in all of the Obama fans to the ticket. This is the ONE Election that the VP Pick will be an important addition to both campaigns.

The superdelegates can avoid ANY nomination of JoeBama— including virtual online to “avoid a floor fight”. The superdelegates don’t participate then there is NO nomination prior to the convention. Simple really.
I share your fear of her and I’m glad that the Mimi action process is being locked in earlier so they’re officially stocked with him, or at least stuck with him with the delightful Kamala as the only realistic alternative
Unless something causes Biden to have to drop out.
Our people who claim Michelle Obama will swoop in and displace Biden are like their people who claim Trump will throw people in gas chambers if elected. Completely clueless, and driven blind by prejudices.
Biden is a puppet, why replace him?
Still would not be shocked to see MO make a last minute run for the Presidency as long as she did not have to face a tough campaign
That said, I have doubts that any serious Democrat candidate who has a burning desire to be elected President is going to try to be the Democrat last minute replacement for diaper Joe.
That would be political suicide given how badly Biden has stunk up the 2024 election so serious and legit Dems are going to be looking to 2024. And only two months to grift is to waste of money making potential
I've never believed it would happen. Mike has said repeatedly that she hates work.
So very clearly, this is the precise opposite of Democracy.
HA!
SOOOOOOOOOOO—IS there going to be a convention in Chicago OR NOT???
Virtual voting is even better than dropboxes. I wonder if they will arrange for voter ID.
