So McMaverick wants to delay the GOP convention...
Is that even possible? If the GOP doesn't nominate him next week, do they risk ballot status as state deadlines pass?

1. Good question... I don't know how it works
but I'd sure like to find out the answer to your question! This is interesting, indeed.

2. It was an issue in '04 when Bush pushed the GOP back to captalize on the 9/11 anniversary
Several states said it was past the deadline and the GOP had to work overtime to get the legislature's to change the rules. This would be even later. At some point, the legislatures (many of which we control now) have to say "Too late. You don't make the ballot."

7. Having it right after the DNC was supposed to be such a bigger winner for them
That was before Obama laid down a once in a generation speech. Little panicky.

8. Others have mentioned it but if delayed, McCain'd be speechifying on 9/11
That's basically painting a bull's eye target on him for Biden. I mean c'mon, Biden's the guy who tore apart Mr. 911 Guiliani!
