if he gets officially selected, can he at any point be replaced? or if he resigns can they choose again or does that make her the candidate?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Tuesday Open Thread (none / 1)

The Convention doesn't have to elect her and once nominated she can resign, "For family reasons." Don't know anything about the Rules and Regulations of the Republican Party once she has been voted as the VP nominee.

AFAIK, there's never been a Recall of a VP tho' Eagleton resigned from the McGovern Campaign in the 70s.

Perhaps they dont see any of her drawbacks as negatives, perhaps they see this as the way a politiccian should act.
