In the past four days we've witnessed two fine examples of what can happen when voters themselves take the lead, but on this side of the pond we seem happy to be slouching towards Bethlehem, driven like rough beasts whipped by the pundit class.

This is so awkward with the NATO Summit upon us this week! Who knows how he will be in private meetings! The public press events will be short and I assume tightly scripted with teleprompter but still … what if he loses it in a q&a . What then ? Does he blame it on the heat?! What a mess.
What's the cutoff date for a POTUS/VP ticket change on the general election ballot?
I imagine after August, given the DNC dates - but some states have bizarre deadlines & rules that suggest their deadlines already elapsed? (maybe only for independent candidates?)
