So, if Mcpain had a massive heart attack prior to the election, would Ron Paul be our candidate by default because he’s the only other one still in the race?

Stop it. Things are bad enough as it is.

No. If that happens before the convention, then it becomes a brokered convention and it's anyone's game. If it happens after the convention, I'm not sure, but likely the party could decide that the VP candidate runs with a new VP candidate. Or, someone could make a late independent run.
