Okay, I'm sure everyone has heard somehing about this;

Now, I KNOW what will happen if he dies or is unable to complete his term. I will bet anyone here $100 that if he is unable to serve out his term, then someone fom te Dominionist camp is going to write an editorial or make a statement saying it was "gods will" that he died or got sick, and their god did this so a republican can be appointed.

That was one of the first things I thought of when this story broke, and I'm kind of surprised no dominionists have already made this claim.

I just thought I would post this and get some thoughts on the matter; am I wrong? Or does everyone agree that some wackos on the far right are going to say just what I have speculated?

I would worry that if those statements come out and a big scandal over it erupts, then it would just reinforce to these people the idea that they have a divine mandate to govern/rule/take over, but I don't think they could possibly be more convinced if it than they already are.
