Worst-case scenario number two: It's the day after Election Day and voters have clearly chosen the next president. Across America, local party members are making plans to travel to their state capitals and cast their usually ceremonial Electoral College votes when both members of the winning ticket are assassinated. What happens next?

Oh please... this is easy.

The Constitutional line of succession would then kick in. On inauguration day, 2005, President-Select Dennis Hastert would be sworn in.

Maybe the dems have learned their lesson and won't have a baloon drop and play "Happy Days Are Here Again" at the memorial rally service.

In 2002 in Minnesota, when the funeral of the deceased Paul Wellstone was turned into a political rally, which most Minnesotans considered so vulgar that they banished the Farmer Labor party at the ballot box

It certainly hasn't hindered their voters from voting...
