I look forward to 2012, perhaps we can get the news to just report who the winner is the day before hand, it should really cut down on lines at the polls.
But really people... you aren't gonna know who won no matter how much election coverage you watch. You aren't gonna know tomorrow morning when you turn on the news. You actually have to wait for the electoral college to meet.
Now then, on another note. We all know that if the president can't be president the vice president steps up, then the speaker of the house, then the president pro tempe of the senate, followed by a string of cabinet members. But lets launch into something a bit different...
Lets say, that candidate X and his running mate Y are running against candidate L and his running mate M. Now, for our argument lets say X and Y win. X becomes the president elect. Now over Christmas X and Y go skiing and through an accident both are eaten by an abominable snowman. Who do they swear in in January?

i like the skiing senario.
should the presidential candidate die before the electoral college meets the electors of the college get to vote for any one they feel like voting for at all-even if the vp candidate is still around.
If it's after the electoral college meets then I dunno
-Talked about the above in DD1 today
