and let's assume that Mitt Romney has secured enough delegates in the meantime to win the nomination. Mitt Romney has also picked Rob Portman as VP candidate.
But then suddenly, on the way to a campaign event in Colorado, Romney's plane crashes in Kansas. Mitt Romney dies.
Does Portman automatically get the nomination ? Or is the nomination "open" again for all candidates in the 2012 cycle ? Or does Ron Paul automatically win the nomination, assuming he's the only candidate that's still officially in there without ending or suspending his campaign ? Can some outside candidate like Sarah Palin win the nomination ?
Who knows more ?
