Re: When Turkeys Attack!
Wife grew up in very rural TN. When she was 10 and in answer to her mom's call, ran up the trail from the nearby river in bare feet & stepped on a copperhead which was sunning itself in the path.
Now, my wife puts on shoes just to go on to the porch for the morning paper.

Big national parties are not the only groups who propose a candidate. We always have alternate party candidates on the ballot. In theory, the national party could decline or have insufficient time to offer a candidate.

You'll survive.
