It's too much.
I don't know, or want to know, why anyone would want to make that type of prediction?
If any POTUS or VPOTUS was killed or died while in office, it would be devastating for the country. It's not something people should want or predict as casually as that.

I originally posted my thoughts on this election in the "Economist endorses Obama thread" and it seemed to go over quite well. So I'll repost it here.
I've come to the conclusion that the main reason Obama is going to take this election so handily is that both parties had exceptionally strong, intelligent and respectable candidates.
The Republican party may be a corrupt and morally bankrupt organization. But there's one thing they do better than any other organization around today. They win elections through smear campaigns. So why have they fallen apart this election? Because John McCain is too principled a man for that sort of campaign. During the Republican primaries that saw Bush triumph over McCain, It was Bush's slander and McCain's morals that lost him the primary. During the Recent primaries, it was McCain's sincerity and principles that won.
But this election, things changed. McCain at first seemed unwilling to engage in that sort of dirty politicking, instead leaving it to other operatives in his party. But no only was Obama able to deflect such attacks (take for example, his wonderful speech on race relations), but he began to define the terms on which the election was fought. At some point down the line, McCain seemed to agree that, for better or worse, the kind of dirty smears and cheap tricks that cost him his prior primary was the only way to win. This caused a new problem. Where McCain's principles first found him unwilling, they now found him incapable. Just as I have no idea how to play a guitar, McCain seems to have no idea how to run a shitty below the belt campaign. He's not only at odds with his campaign advisors right now. He's at odds with himself.
So in the end, we are presented with an intelligent and tactful opponent running a solid campaign based on change and hope, and an intelligent and tactful opponent running a sloppy and immoral campaign based on everything he is not.
McCain never had a chance this time around. Which is so sad considering what a wonderful president he could have been were he chosen 8 years ago.
Oh yeah, and Palin. He royally fucked up with Palin.
Of course, that's just my opinion.

Obama has the Secret Service to protect him from crazy skinheads...

Joe the Plumber is such a fucking skinhead. I am surprised they let him within 50 feet of Obama. He would be a Class A threat if I was Obama.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

The only thing I can think of to describe my thoughts is, "that smug bastard". Or maybe "smug, stupid bastard". I have no idea who he's trying to smear with silence, but -- at a TOTAL guess -- my hunch would be Biden, because Biden says a lot of crazy things and even a {censored} like that wouldn't dare actually accuse him of it while representing the campaign.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

In Broward County, FL the 6th largest school district in the country (my home town), the schools organized busses to take 18 year old seniors to the polls...
What did FoxNews report:
A county that was pro-Kerry (65%) in 2004.
GOP is investigating.
Why would they do this, when the polls are open later than school hours?
Wow. FoxNews, you never let me down.
Maybe it's because 18 year olds might have trouble getting to polls, they want to instill the values of voting, or maybe because the polls in Florida are very crowded in the afternoon.
Republicans and FoxNews hate democracy.
