"Not necessarily, as the Electors might vote for the next highest vote getter which would be McCain.

I saw it posted here in another thread...but i cannot find it.

There is a section of the Constitution dealing with this. Someone posted it.

It says something about if the president elect is deemed ineligible before being sworn in the running mate is sworn in....

So maybe that is why McCain is meeting with Obama*?

If the president elect is found to be unqualified the VP is shown in as ACTING president until a person is qualified. As this stands the House would have to vote for McCain since he is the only other person receiving EV. The choice must come from the top three EV getters: McCain, McCain or McCain.
