-"Is there a resistance or counter group that would overthrow Raul?"

Unfortunately, there is no organized resistance in Cuba. Whatever opposition there is, is relegated to a disparate number of 'peaceful' groups just simply trying to "express" their views for a more open society.

Armed resistance does not exist.

However, the population is completely at bottom's end. The only thing keeping it from going over the edge is a 'spark' from any significant event transpiring to provide the momentum to take to the streets.

Good point. What little I've found on the subject suggests that if things get tough, Raoul can't count on military support even a slight amount compared to his brother. I hear the Cuban military doesn't like him.

Mmmmmm....like Fidel keeling over, maybe?
