fear Democratic contender Sen. Barack Obama will be assassinated if he is ever elected to the post.

And the thing that could really throw off some people is the Constitutional clause which holds that if the President-elect dies or becomes incapacitated before the inauguration, the Presidency goes not to the President-elect's VP, but to the Presidential runner-up.

Even though this is clearly in the U.S. Constitution, you just know there'd be a media-generated "crisis" over it.

“...fear Democratic contender Sen. Barack Obama will be assassinated...”

that fear has been published before, and secret Service responded by increasing his detail. But, is there any credibility or just presumptive???

or is this a devise to publicly relate to MLK??

these politicians are pretty devious, you know!!!

I think that he’s more likely to be assassinated before the Dem Convention. Hillary would have no reason to do so afterward—unless of course she’s his VP nominee.
