Let's say your choice for President was suddenly unavailable. I don't know...he/she had a tragic accident, spraining a nose hair or something.

For the purposes of this poll, (and due to the fact you can only set up so many options,) all Green, Reform, Libertarian, Socialist, ect. candidates are impervious to harm.

Explain if the whim overwhelms you.

What if you wouldn't vote for any of those three to begin with? Any person who supports communism would get my vote.

If Kerry dropped out I would be rather happy actually, Edwards would have another shot at the Presidency. That is who I'd vote for.

This is really hard to say. I wonder, has the deadline passed for peopel to be on the ballot, ie, if Bush dropped out could another higher profiel Repub take his place?

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room to include 3rd party candidates other than Nader. So far, few of them have officially announced who they're offering anyway. (Reform is backing Nader, Independence isn't nominated anyone.)

Any person who supports communism would get my vote.

Then the closest you're going to get is probably Socialist Candidate Walt Brown

I should have phrased the original question differently--answers will be more interesting if your preferred party is knocked out, not just the candidate. (Although I agree w/ the Edwards thing)

Non-Americans are welcome to vote, it's not like the US doesn't support regime change in other countries.

:shifty:

If Bush dropped out and he was replaced by McCain, the Republicans would get my vote this year.

i think it might be like the missouri election where governor carnahan was running against ashcroft for a senate seat. carnahan was killed in a plane crash a month or so before the election and there wasn't time to change the ballots, so his name stayed on the ballot.

carnahan STILL won the election

McCain? McCain sucks. Out of the three I would never vote for Kerry, Nader would have to get it, although I'd only vote for him to detract from Kerry. I'd hope that another Republican (maybe JC Watts) would be put in.

McCain definitely is the better of the two republicans. At least he is willing to admit when he is wrong. Bush likes to try to emulate the late, great Ronald Reagan (RIP) but he lacks the pinache, and he lacks the ability to be self-critical. When you screw up, you screw up, admit it.

Out of the actual names you listed, Nader if not Kerry. Back during the Democratic primaries I liked Dean and Clark, so if either of them stepped in to replace JFK, then I'd go with them. McCain would be quite a challenge to defeat if Bush went buh-byes and he ran his own ticket instead.
