And since this is the case, why doesn't the GOP try this in a few states where the election is close? And if current state law doesn't permit such sleeze, why, just change the law.

If that was the case, then the supremes wouldn't have had an standing to go into Fla.

The supremes have 3 good reasons to get involved.

1. This is an election for a federal office.
2. Ballots have already gone out and been returned.
3. Changing the name at this date makes it impossible to get absentee ballots out on time, thus disenfranchising absentee voters.

I assume you really mean NOT close, as in the Republican candidate is losing big. The argument being why not just dump him or her and try someone else because there is nothing to lose anyway.

First, you have to control the judges. While DemoNAZI judges tend to horribly corrupted and will do ANYTHING to destroy the country, Republican judges (for the most part) tend to have these archaic notions of honor and duty that make them terribly independent.

Say lets run Guiliani in New Jersey. Certainly if its okay for Lautenburg to make the ballot at this date, it must be okay for Rudy.
