One of these days, we are bound to have an election that is unsettling to the voters.

I have this sinking feeling that it's going to be THIS year. As PD said months ago, it will be Edwards/Hillary. Probably at the last minute, after the debates. Even Swift Boat Veteran O'Neill said he would vote for Edwards, and after the F'n campaign fiasco, the Dim base will be all fired up on election day.

Really?? Did he say why he would support a Socialist such as Edwards?

There will be no last-minute replacement of Kerry in this campaign.

The biggest problem that would present is one of logistics. Because of ballot deadlines that vary by state (and some states may have started mail-in voting already), we could very well have a scenario in which a hypothetical "Edwards-Hillary" ticket isn't even eligible to show up on many state ballots.

Now take this one step further. Even if they were able to get on enough state ballots that they could win 270 electoral votes, how many swing voters across this country are going to vote for a candidate that isn't on the ballot in a number of other states?
