Here's more speculation, with the eventual departure of Pat Sajak, would this also mean that Vanna may also step down?

Pat has repeatedly stated over the years that he and Vanna plan to step down at the same time, and the two have discussed the matter before. Now whether this holds true or not is nothing but speculation, but I'd have to believe that it'd be the most appropriate thing for both to do, and what I'm willing to place bets on.
Also, Pat's contract is up for renewal in I believe 2009 (it's either that or 2010). Either Pat will call it quits then, or, as I've stated my prediction is numerous times over, he'll sign one more 5 year deal, then call it quits. If anybody has read his comments on his website and on Pat's place on "wof.com," you'll know he has no desire to be on the show for 10 more years, but he doesn't feel that he's entirely tired of the show just yet...
As for replacements, after saying repeatedly "THERE IS NONE" *much like a certain other Ezekial's fanbois," my personal favorites would lie with Bob Goen and possibly even the likes of Jeff Probst (and trust me, I know the chance of either happening is still a longshot).
As for getting an unknown, I wouldn't put it past the realm of possibility, but much like what we saw about 6 months ago, a high publicity job opening in the game show world can cause quite a stir amongst some big names in Hollywood, especially when a bunch of unknowns and other random names are thrown in the bucket...
