I have 2 words for this thread. Dan Quayle.
This is proof that the VP can be dumb as an ox and not really have any impact one way or another, its only when they are evil to the core (Dick Cheney) that there can be problems.
Also, think of the chain of command on the other side - If Obama is president and disappears JFK style, then there's Biden, who is also another old guy. If he keels off, who's that leave? Pelosi? Another female with little clue or experience for the position of Chief in Command.
And like it or not, the chances of Obama being the next JFK are high. There's still a lot of crazy, racist people in this country. Hell, the South is still fighting the civil war, or as they teach it - "The War of Northern Aggression"

The chances of Obama being assasinated (extremely low in itself, no matter that there are still racists assasinations just don't happen that often) and then Biden dieing are far far lower than that of McCain alone croaking it. And you would still be left with a more competent president than Palin looks like she would be, though I'm no big fan of Pelosi.
Also I agree with you that the VP doesn't really matter, I just worry about Palin getting her hands on the oval office - that woman actually scares me.
