Technical question: If Palin drops out after being nominated by the party at its convention

[Bake]

How exactly would the GOP nominate a replacement? Are there legal requirements to be on the ballot?

Enquiring minds want to know.

1. No worries. They will just make shit up as they go along.

2. See McGovern-Eagleton 1972

Basically he'll beg someone to run with him until he gets someone desperate or naive enough.

3. Did Eagleton drop out after the convention?

I was 14 in '72 and I don't remember whether Shriver
gave a speech at the convention or if the VP nominee
was still Eagleton at that point.

4. Eagleton dropped out

and Shriver was his replacement. I was 13 at the time, not sure how that was handled. It happened just a day or two after the convention.
