If, to consider a worst case scenario, something happened to either Dubya and Cheney (or whoever will be the veep candidate for '04) just days before the election, to put them out of the picture... what happens? Does the GOP end up with an empty slot to fill however it wishes if it wins on the scheduled election day? If both Bush and Cheney were (God forbid) wiped out in such a time frame, does the election forfeit to the next highest polling candidate (presumably the Democrat unless there is a strong conservative spoiler)? Does the whole election get postponed?
So you're trying to induce a panic attack, eh?
Sheez. I do not know what we would do. How about let's do like Democrats do and make up laws to fit the scenario and ordain judges who agree with us?
