mentioned in a column in today's NY Times, Bob Rice of Tangent Capital pointed out that the actuarial risk, based on mortality tables, of Palin becoming president if the Republican ticket wins the election is about 1 in 6 or 7.

roger cohen, the columnist, points out that's the same odds that your birthday will fall on a wednesday.
