2008 Democrat convention chooses candidates

WI after the primaries both OBAMA and Hilary Clinton became unavailable in some non scandalous context?

1) I am assuming the Democrat still wins, anyone query that?

2) Who emerges?
 
There's too little information with which to work here. Who won what primaries? Does a 3rd candidate have a bloc of votes up for grabs? Who had momentum heading into the convention?
 
1) I am assuming the Democrat still wins, anyone query that?

Probably, but that depends on the nature of the Obama and Clinton scandals. If it is something like a sex scandal that is specific to the individuals involved, then the Dems probably still win with whoever they nominate. But if it's something shady in regards to finances, bribery, or campaign donations, it could tarnish the entire party. I mean, BOTH of their top-2 candidates got taken down by scandals. Top-3 if you count John Edwards. That's like the 2006 Republican congressional campaign on steroids. Even with the economy in the dumpster, I could see the Republicans pulling out a close victory. People would be disgusted with both parties and we'd set record lows for voter turnout though.

2) Who emerges?

Not sure. Usually after a major scandal, parties go for the least controversial person they can think of. An elder statesman type. See Richard Nixon selecting Gerald Ford after Spiro Agnew went down. Not sure who fits that bill. Al Gore perhaps?

EDIT: Oh sorry, you said "nonscandalous." Never mind. I need to learn to read more closely.

One of the few non-scandalous things I can think of that would off them both would be some nut shooting them.
In that case (tongue firmly in cheek) the Dems could run a lettuce and it'd get a pretty big fraction of the vote.
 
Ether the Al Gore bot gets booted back up and he shaves or Biden gets chosen for the top spot.

for the VP slot in these two I'm going say for Gore he picks a Gov from out west??

Biden would probably want someone younger and southern
