IMHO if the election is close, the feral mobs will feel “the election was stolen” and things will get very ugly. The streets will be on fire. However, if Romney wins in a landslide victory that is uncontestable, there may be some outbreaks of sporadic vionence here and there but the liklihood of widespread riots would be decreased. Losing by a big margin tends to subdue the animal spirits.
What’s your take on those scenarios and the likely extent of “possible unrest”? Regards.
If Obama voters riot, they'll effectively set a "brand" for their party they won't be able to shake for many, many years. My personal opinion is it'll be in a few small areas, although that could easily get out of hand. As Rush said a few weeks back, liberal ideology is more sacred than Obama, so if he loses you can look for several "important" Dems to throw him under the bus, which could help quell anger. No matter what happens, I'm not worried---or afraid.
