Mitt Romney assasinated in January 2012

Okay, probably a stupid way for him to lose. But.....I mean, a sex scandal, what else could happen to make him lose the race?
 
Depends by who.

1. Random radical leftist: A deeper partisan divide in the country (yikes). Might swing the election depending on who's running. Might or might not put a damper on Occupy

2. Some far-right winger upset that a Romney's "Not a Christian": Calls for more relgious tolerance from all sides of the aisle.

3. Someone with severe and untreated mental illness: No idea, but between the Gabby Gilfords shooting and now this you might see calls for increased funding for mental care.

If Romney completely self-destructs (or in this situation, dies), the RNC had Jeb Bush on tap to jump in and replace him as the mainstream candidate. Despite a late entry, I doubt Santorum could push enough momentum to kick him out, especially if Romney's assassin is from his right, instead of the far left.
