What if John McCain doesn't make it?

I am going to be clear here and say I don't wish cancer on anyone, even McCain. Maybe this is due to my Christian beliefs, but I can't wish something like that on someone.

I'm curious though, what if he got the nomination and his cancer did return before November and he had to drop out of the race due to health problems? Would the republicans fall back on the candidate with the next most delegates?

I just was curious to know if anyone knew what procedures would be followed.

The guy is old and he has already something with his skin, that is one thing to point out to the papers that he is too old.  Reagan was old but Reagan was a different story.  I will say thing there are really 2 candidates you will never see me endorse in the Republican party,  him and RuPaul.

Chuck Norris brought up McCain's age today. As I mentioned previously, it's a topic that pisses off McCain when people bring it up.  McCain tried to downplay it by pointing out his parent who's in her mid-90's and said he'd have her wash out Norris' mouth with soap.

Norris emphasized how presidents age a lot on the job.  And I think I read that McCain would be the oldest to start a first-term as a US president if he were to get elected.
