If (tick-tick-gaack!) Cheney has his 15th heart attack during the debate--

[elehhhhna]

What should Edwards do?

Immediate throat compression on the Veep sounds good...
Massage the carotid artery?
Is Edwards taking a CPR course to prep for this?

[Scooter24]

1. hehe...

locate the nearest portable defibrillator machine but hook the electrodes to his testicles?

Oh wait, you said heart attack, my bad. :P

[whistle]

2. He should stand stoically at his podium while medivacs...

...who should be on standby whisk Cheney off to the crematorium where all traces of that bastard are turned into ash!

P.S. Anyone who survives thjeir 15th heart attack should go into the medical records books. I think Cheney is faking his heart problems.

3. Call Halliburton

They would certainly do everything imaginable to see that he stays well, at least until January anyhow.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Nothing to worry about.

The Pugs have McCain standing by to take over the debate.

[spinbaby]

5. He's had 14 heart attacks?

Seriously?

[babylonsister]

6. Bring in the microwaves!

[Demonaut]

7. it would be the best thing for the bush campaign, guiliani would step in

and that would really hurt us

[Ilsa]

8. Edwards should immediately start

a prayer circle and encourage the nation to pray for Cheney. That might actually win over a few B/C fanatics. It also keeps him out of the way, so no one can claim he hindered medical access.

But I'd really rather see the testicle-shock thingy with the defibrillator.

[elehhhhna]

9. Some people say he can be revived by fanning him with $1,000 bills.

[Vickers]

10. Bwahahahahaha!

:toast:

[LisaL]

15. Just let him smell some blood, he would wake up.

:silly:

[Not Me]

11. Debate rules say Edwards cannot approach or touch cheney

during the debate. He would have to sit and watch it play out. Perhaps someone else would step forward. Perhaps not.

[Bryan]

12. "If" he has a heart attack?

There's still doubt at this point? I think the real question is whether Cheney's heart will go before Edwards tears it out of his chest (at which point we will discover that, like the Grinch's, it's three sizes too small).

[elehhhhna]

13. It's a seated debate! DC will just disappear from the screen! Woo-ha!

Just heard DC insisted on a seated debate. Why? Less far to fall if the ticker takes a lickin'? Can give the finger more freely to us & JE under the table? Why?

Perhaps Scalia told him to have an orgy going on under the table to help "release the pressure"?

[davsand]

14. Any replacement would not be on the ballot, however.

IF Unca Dick goes room temp at the debate (or any place else between now and November) it will still show his name on the ballot when you walk into the voting booth.

The big thing I worry about is the HUGE publicity it will generate for the GOP here at the end of the campaigns. By the time they do an appropriate send off, they will have elevated Unca Dick to sainthood, and shrub to some grieving son who needs the sympathy vote--and they will do it for free with the news media's help and blessing.

We WANT Unca Dick alive as long as possible.

16. I can see it now

Cheney has a heart attack and it is Edwards' fault for being such a meenie to him. Then when he saves him, it will be a publicity stunt on Edwards' part. To wax threadbear Yakoff Smirnoff..."what a KKKahn-tree."

[BenDavid]

17. You can bet yo ass,

that if that were to happen then why do ya think that McCain has been going with Bush to alll these rallies in different states? yep, you guessed it. I would say that McCain has cut a deal with Bush that if anything happened to Cheney then McCain would step right in.... This is the October surprise.....
