Has a presidential candidate come within a month of election & changed his vp choice? Kicked him to the curb?

Q: I don't think I know of that ever happening? What do you think? Actually, I have received a lot of info indicating Obama will do just that, saying Biden has a brain tumor, aneurysm, or something dire. This is a totally nonpartisan question. And I love your answers

A: McGovern/Eagleton...BUT it happened before the DNC. You cannot kick off a running mate who has been officially nominated. And after the McGovern fiasco, the committees make it a little harder for you to say "Oops!" with your choice--even if you want to change your mind before the convention. Obama's stuck with Biden, sorry to break the news to you.
