Sean Cunningham, Esquire:As McCain decides how to counter Obama's Biden selection, they can both take solace in knowing their predecessors set the bar low:William Rufus King: Dead Man GoverningBest known for being the only Vice President never to marry and living much of his life with future Commander-in-Chief James Buchanan (who, in what's bound to be a complete coincidence, is the only President never to marry), he has another claim to fame: he took the oath of office on foreign soil. Indeed, he took advantage of Cuba's warm, theoretically therapeutic weather for much of his 45 days in office before dying of tuberculosis, leaving behind a legacy that will not be equaled until a major political party sees fit to nominate an actual corpse.
