shadowmen, the last time I checked, McCain didn't have people looking to assasinate him either, so score one for potential Grim Reapers eyeing the Black Neo. Besides, you obviously haven't done your homework. McCain's family has a long history of exceedingly long-lived geriatrics. His mother is still alive and kicking-- and posseses a keener mind than 3/4 of this board-- including yours.

Actually, I'm betting that we will have an assassination no matter who becomes President. We're wading into the last days of the great empire of the United States... you all do realize this, right? It may still take a few decades to play out, but I'm pretty sure this country is dying. Unless we get it together and figure out that there are NOT 2 types of people in this country, and that being a hard-right Conservative or a hard-left Liberal is actually a flaw, not something to be proud of, this country will eventually become a warzone again. It will tear itself apart.
And the poor majority of this country (the Moderates; the so-called 'swing vote') will be left in the middle, as always, pissed at the rest for destroying their country with their polarized idiocy.
EDIT to add: This whole election cycle is a joke. It's a circus. It's not even serious anymore. It's like a bad sitcom that airs on every channel and just won't be canceled, playing on a TV you can't turn off. I hate it.
