June 18: 2013: Jay Nixon narrowly survives an attempt on his life by Joseph Baxley, a disgruntled Republican. Baxley is later sentenced to 25 years in prison.
(Where is Elway on social issues? I'm asking because Boneham is a RINO who only joined the party because he knew libertarians never would get elected without being part of one of the two parties. If his views are similar to Rupert's, maybe he could join Boneham's ticket as his VP in 2016)
I still don't believe that something as important as the presidency would come down to a coin flip. That's just absurd.
