I've finally realized why they keep pushing him so hard. He's going to "succumb to the pressure" and pass away after the convention, so they can put some new fresh face in who will 'Win if for JOE!"
I don't see much else except keeping him around as a figurehead while his wife et al. run the country like with Wilson.
I'm calling it now. It will be Michelle Obama they replace Joe with:

The biggest concern is that he doesn't get out the black vote. He could lose a significant percentage of the black vote to Donald Trump. IF those black voters decide the Republicans are actually benefiting them more and lead to even just 20% of the black vote going to Republicans, the Democrats would be finished.
So, they need someone to parachute in and secure black enthusiasm. Hence, Michelle Obama.
Also securing us our status as a burgeoning banana republic.
(Hey, if I may enough wild predictions, ONE will be right and then I can claim my clairvoyance off that ONE prediction.)
