“...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!!!

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.
Huh?
Amendment XX
Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
The president is elected when the electoral college in each state meets. I don't know who the electors would vote for if the president elect were to die before the electoral college met. I suppose that is determined by state law.
In no way would the loser of the presidential election automatically become president if the president-elect died.

This election is a cauldron filled with some of the demons the U.S., like all western countries, fear the most. Sexism.
Oh, yeah . . . I keep Holy Water by on my night table in case ol' demon Sexism should ever come towards me. Sheesh!!

Yep, but nobody ever said that the DUmp monkeys were known for either brains, consistency, fairness, or any other positive quality (maybe positive STD test results, that’s about it).

Barf alert for what? Did you even watch the clip? And actually, I believe I saw one of those phony stories over on the sidebar earlier.

In honesty I fear the same thing. There are some genuine wack jobs out there and o'barnum parading around like a resurrected kennedy would prove inviting.
I sincerely pray to God that I am wrong, I sincerely pray to God that the American people are better than that.

It's a defining time in America for race, gender and religion. Yes, it is defining. Because Obama is doing just fine thank you very much, and white voters aren't so much concerned with his color, as his personal beliefs.
So yes, it is a defining time in America. A time when any man could be shot down by some kook, not just a black one.
John F. Kennedy, a black man? Robert F. Kennedy, a black man? Ronald W. Reagan, a black man?
So nice of you to ignore these men to focus on the danger to a person from your own race. Now who's the racist you liver lipped dingbat?
As someone else stated so elequently, "Get over yourselves!"
Join the rest of us as one if you dare. No, you can't dare, where would you be without special status, elevated above there rest of us, as if each of us were a racist and you floated six inches off the floor.
And yet, you can't even see it... You're not the only person sick to death of racsim bud!

Took a minute to load (cable) and then there was nothing but a big black screen and a small red X in the upper left corner.
Do you have an alternate link?

"When it comes to being qualified, they look at skin color." I can only speak for myself, but I tend to look at whether or not the candidate has A TOTAL LACK OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS like Obama.
