So - if Barack Obama LOSES the election - then what?
.
.
.

I read newsgroups all across the Globe - even those that I totally disagree with

there is a growing concern that although Barack Obama is the world choice, that US American voters may hesitate to put a black man in the WHITE house.

Racism is alive and well in the USA I'm afraid

And I fear that the white macho man may use his racist brain at the last moment

Mind you I will be overjoyed if Obama wins the election,

but surprised.

6. Since there is absolutely no way in Hell he could lose legitimately at this point.
The gates of fucking Hell itself would open, and I'd volunteer to hand Satan the key myself.

There will be no tolerance for another stolen election. Not this time.

11. that is a logical falicy...
he CAN lose...is it likely? no...but he certainly can. and if he does, trying to prove massive vote-rigging/election fraud will have to be done to the satisfaction of the public before anything would be done...

15. They would have to have a reasonable cover story to explain the (false) sudden change in numbers
And the fucking racist "Bradley Effect" shit isn't going to cut it.

26. you can easily pull the wool over the eyes of the populace
with terms like 'disproportionate sample' and 'inaccurate methodology' or 'unexpected turnout/lack of turnout'...

trust me...it can be done...simply look at history...

I don't believe it.

Can't really put it into words, it's just different this time. America is awakening from a long stupor.

19. That keeps me up at night, and given 2004 I am not into counting my chickens
before they hatch

That said... it is not just the world... things will get ugly in the US (Mind you they might still get ugly if the Rs loose, or rather when the Rs loose)

23. Only if its rigged
The only reason Obama will lose is if the election is rigged. If they rig it, Obama must stand up and fight it.

24. According to members of several unions,
there will be a walk off, until the election is proven not have been rigged.

This time people are hip to what's gone down, if only vaguely. And for people who wondered why it was important to have the endorsement of people like Powell and McClellan and other pubs who sold their soul, it's because it'll be good to some insiders on our side if the shit goes down.

32. it is logistically impossible at this point
A McCain upset would require election fraud on an enormous scale that couldn't be pulled off. Obama still wins even if McCain wins ALL of the swing states, which is in itself a total improbability. So relax! The bloody coup will have to be postponed for at least another 4 years :)
