Posted on FR, without comment, an article by Norman J. Ornstein, resident scholar at AEI, which contained the following "nightmare" scenario:

"Imagine if John Kerry and John Edwards were to win the presidency, were then removed by terrorist acts, and the result is President Dennis Hastert. At least if the president and vice president-elect are assassinated before the electors meet, the electors can vote for replacements (electors bound by their state laws might face misdemeanor punishment, but would no doubt be willing to take that chance)."
Am I paranoid? This isn't...they wouldn't...
