McCain.

Obama's energy plan would greatly increase the Global Food Crisis due to his wreckless promises to increase Biofuels which the UN call "A crime path."


That... and McCains promise to stop ethanol subsidaries will help a lot of people globally.

The over 100 million people who can't afford food... is a really important deal to me.

That outweighs the chance that McCain may put another Pro-Lifer on the Supreme Court.  I think McCain is smart enough to know that making abortions Illegal won't stop many if any abortions and will just make them more dangerous.

But if McCain pops his clogs (which I personally don't consider likely but it is possible that he could die considering he is 71) then you end up with Palin as president and she definately would try and make abortion illegal.

 

You know if you want to talk health, Obama could have a heart attack or stroke.  I say that because black people have a higher chance of that happening to them and Obama, if he were to be elected president, would have a very stressful life.  I realize he is in good shape but stress does contribute to heart problems.  It is about as likely to happen as McCain having heart problems I think.

Actually I believe (though I am not certain) that the prevalence of heart dieseases in black people is more due to the fact that black people are more likely to be in a lower socioeconomic demographic than white people and as such are more likely to be exposed to risk factors. That wouldn't effect Obama.

Also thought this source was interesting.

Percentages were actually a bit higher than I expected.

 

Oh and you miss my point, I wouldn't care so much if Obama died as president as I don't think Biden would completely screw it up (though I don't like him much). However I think Palin would be about twice as bad (in my view) as G.W.Bush. If McCain had picked a decent VP candidate him dieing wouldn't really have worried me.
