If Obama isn't president, then McCain is. And Sarah Palin is vice president.

I don't think it would work that way. Where is the rule which says the second place finisher gets the prize in an election if the first place finisher is disqualified? More likely Nancy Pelosi would be President (ugh). Whether or not there would be a re-election or the four year cycle is cast in stone would be the next item of contention.

Ping to post 155 (and the 20th Amendment)

Nah, they'd give it to Beast and Goatboy for another run down at the old Pizzeria Clinton.

And the White House staff would just sigh and start scrubbing the sinks with bleach.
