McCain is old and not in the best of health. The animosity between differant factions in the communist party are getting worse and worse.
What if the D was assassinated and McCain died of say a heart attack both between the end of September and election day.
What happens? I have looked and looked and can only come to the conclusion that the electoral college could keep George Bush or just select someone. Or would it fall to the Speaker of the House (God forbid)?
My bet is that the electoral college would be a bit disarrayed, and would not give any person 270 votes. In that case it would go to the House where each state’s delegation would vote as a block for their state for the new President.
