Forgive me for this but
What % of retired McCain voters will die of old age between now and election day? There is no doubt McCain is going to lose a lot more voters than Obama.

I know, I am a sick bastard but this is pure statistics and it could actually have an impact on a close race. Especially in Florida.

1. Offset by sick and starving low income dems, perhaps...
and those purged from the registered voters lists.

But the loss of some old conservatives can't hurt!

3. You are a sick bastard, and . . .
1) Dropoff in McCain support through involuntary withdrawal from the voter pool (i.e., death) will be statistically insignificant. Even in Florida

2) Older voters aren't uniformly for McCain anyway

3) Flu season has already peaked
