What happens if a presidential candidate dies in October?

If McCain had a stroke and died on the middle of October, what do you suppose would happen? Would the Republicans be able to rush another candidate into the ballot? Would the election be postponed?

He would still be dead.

I thought there were some sort of filing deadlines which would prevent a new candidate. Maybe Palin would be allowed to step in and run?

That means a 3rd party would have a real shot at it.

Ron Paul for president?

Obama would beat the other 11 or so candidates.
