QUERY Prsident Taft dies before 12, is TR the Republican standard bearer

WI Big Bill Taft had a fatal heart attack. As I understand it his VP was quite ill.

Does Teddy get the nomination?

If so does he win?
 
Probably; Taft's VP doesn't seem very substantial, and at that point Roosevelt was the only Vice President who ascended to the presidency to ever even be renominated. Roosevelt leading the united GOP is probably their best chance for victory in 1912.
