Indiana State employees have been told that he is most probably dead at this point.

Yes, Joe Kernan will become governor if this is it for the current governor.
Either way, knowing via a family experience what a cerebral hemorrhage is like for the patient, if O'Bannon survived, he would likely be unable to perform his duties due to incapacitation.

Our Hoosier brothers north of the river are looking hard at this.
A state Governor is Commander-in-chief of the National Guard of that state. As such, it's a command issue. The new Governor gets to appoint the new state Adjutant General - the Two-star who leads the troops - or retain the current TAG in his position.
Command shake-ups usually go panic mode for an hour or two, then settle into the routine again.

This is a moment for all to pray for Governor O'Bannon and his family. Death or incapacitation are the likely outcomes for him at this point. I know because my mother suffered a severe stroke from which she nearly died and has never fully recovered. His situation sounds worse.
We may not agree with his policies or praise his performance in office, but we should certainly recognize that O'Bannon has served the state of Indiana for many years. This service should be recognized.
We should all say a prayer for his recovery and for his family as they now suffer through this difficult time.

I ask again, if this man should pass, will the Dems be stupid enough to treat us to another Wellstone political rally/memorial?

Prayer on the way for the Governor and his family. So many of us are focused upon those who suffered loss on 9/11, as well we should be; but there are countless others who need to be remembered as well.

Yep, but the Lt. Gov also looks like a Dem, is he?

Terrible news. I hope for his recovery.
A cerebral hemorrhage is what unexpectedly killed Senator Paul Coverdell (R-GA) in 2000. They must happen often without warning.
On a side note I hope Kernan doesn't now reconsider his choice not to run. He's a stronger candiate than Joe Andrew.
