    The Republican and Democratic parties almost certainly have an arrangement for a "placeholder", in the case that party nominee elections are down to the last days before the convention. Technically, John McCain is not the Republican nominee until he is elected so at the party convention.

    It's one of those technicality things where the major parties get special consideration being established institutions.

    They shouldn't. But they will. Bob Barr should be the only name on the ballot it Texas, according to the Texas Election Code.
