This question suddenly occurred to me after I noticed how old McCain looks. (You may not have noticed, but it seems he is really quite old.) What would happen if he died suddenly?
Obviously, if he dies now, or even after selecting a Veep, we get a brokered convention, I would say. (And who wins?) But what would happen if he died in September?
Or, Heaven forbid, on November 3rd? Would there be a lot of sympathy votes for the Republicans? It looks like his being old might even work against us...
Discuss.
