An unspoken issue in the Presidential Elections

Ok... since no one seems to want to touch this one, let let me be the one the break the ice on this unsavory and unthinkable issue... the idea that there is a high likelihood that the next President Of The United States will die in office! It's unthinkable... but statistically speaking we are overdue for it to happen as evidenced by the list of President's who have died in office and the time span between each death, which is roughly between 10 - 20 years. Don't believe me? Go here and check the list

Let's face facts - the next Vice President is very likely to be the next President. Unfortunately, we still live in a racially charged country where numerous redneck bubbas would love to go down in history as the man who killed the first black President. Sad but unfortunately true. On the other hand, if McCain wins, he has so many health problems and is so old that the likelihood of him surviving even one term is pretty low. So in essence, this election comes down to whose Vice-Presidential candidate we would want running our country and who is qualified to run our country.

Scary thought eh?
