Food for thought: and this is WAY WAY out there, but this may be the first election that we are voting for the vice president. As sad as it sounds, I can imagine some wild people taking shots at Obama due to race and see McCain dying due to stress.... who would you vote for in that case? Biden or Palin? are either presidential material?

I agree that this is one of the first elections I can remember where the VP candidate really was looked at. For me it is more so for McCain than Obama. The Secret Service are very good at what they do and most racists are cowards and won't act. That said there are always whackjobs out there, but it is very difficult to do any kind of harm to a president. With McCain he is old, has had skin cancer four times and his health records are more than 500 pages thick. Being president is one of, if not the most, stressful job in the world. Just look at how it ages the guys that do it. I wouldn't be at all shocked if a few years into his presidency he died or had to step down due to health concerns.
