“If Obama was ineligible and Biden was declared null and void (as a result of the FULL ticket being voided), then the next set of eligible electors is for McCain/Palin. They would be seated and presumably vote 538-0 for both McCain and Palin.”

Wow, think of the TV audience this could generate — enough viewership to save the networks (and maybe a few newspapers)?

That isn't what the Constitution says.

U.S. Constitution, Amendment 20, Section 3:

Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
