I read much more than i answer, but i notice something.....?

Question

are we to believe that both presidential candidates are going to die in office?

the left and right seem to both be accusing it will happen.....and that the vice presidency is all of a sudden some important job. it never has been before....hmmmm

Answer 1

It is an observation that I noted, too.

But on further review of McCain's health, he has an 80 percent chance of surviving 4 years in the White House.

Whereas, O'bama will never be bullet-proof. I fear some extremist on either side will feel justified in killing him for being half-white or half-black.

May God protect them both.

Answer 2

Actually, it has happened.

Harrison 1841

Taylor 1850

Lincoln 1865

Garfield 1881

McKinley 1901

Harding 1923

Roosevelt 1945

Kennedy 1963

Answer 3

Yes... may God protect them both since we have so much more to loose.

Answer 4

Mc cain's candidate for VP has changed eveything , people now more inerested in VP's

Answer 5

The VP is a very important job, actually.  But history tells us that it rarely, if ever, has decided an election...except for MAYBE Adams and Jefferson.  Polarization by the media has made the VP pick much more then it really is...both VPs are not bad, but it's not like people are not voting for Palin and Biden.  

The VP, however, is the President of the Senate.  They cast the tiebreaking vote, if needed.  So actually a smart choice for VP is very important, considering the duties the President of the Senate must perform.
