This is a bit crazy, but here I'll go. A brokered convention is forced between Clinton and Obama, with John Edwards releasing his delegates in exchange for the VP slot. Obama accepts, but is killed following the convention. Edwards takes over as the nominee, and picks Bill Richardson as his running mate. The Edwards affair story leaks out, with Edwards leaving the ticket in disgrace. Bill Richardson takes over, and picks Chris Dodd. The Richardson pay-for-play scandal comes out, with Richardson forced off the ticket. Dodd's banking scandals are a major drag, and the musical chairs of the Democratic nominee is Eagleton on steroids.
