What would have happened if
this plan by a Neo-Nazi had succeeded, and a dirty bomb had gone off at Obamas first inauguration?
Assuming that the bomb kills everyone in the line of the succession, the designated survivor is Robert Gates. Is that a likely outcome? What comes next?
This would be the largest political assassination on American soil and in the world.
And to have the terrorist being a home grown white group will shake the foundations of the War on Terror.
Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense and former CIA, would ask for a cross party unity, with all former leaders dead, he would look to Congress for the majority of support.
I could see him nominating, Democratic Representative and House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, as his vice President, with Pelosi, being the highest ranking Democrat at this moment in time.
He will call for an emergency cabinet and bring the country back to a normality.
A new election may be held in 2010 depending on how Gates is able to control the situation.
