I personally believe that if Obama loses a close or extremely close election, the dimocrat/socialist/liberal/homosexual/commies will come out of the woodwork to prevent him from leaving office. I think they will go to the courts, file hundreds of suits about voter fraud (but forget they run 99% of the voting booths), lie, cheat, steal, threaten, assault, do anything and everything they can to keep him in office. I think we could actually be looking at a potential of him declaring martial law. Martial law is described as:

Martial law is the imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis—(usually) only temporary—when the civilian government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., maintain order and security, and provide essential services), when there are extensive riots and protests, or when the disobedience of the law becomes widespread. In most cases, military forces are deployed to quiet the crowds, to secure government buildings and key or sensitive locations, and to maintain order.

Generally, military personnel replace civil authorities (this won't happen here. Obama will continue to assume all authority) and perform some or all of their functions. In full-scale martial law, the highest-ranking military officer would take over, or be installed, as the military governor or as head of the government, thus removing all power from the previous executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.

Martial law can be used by governments to enforce their rule over the public. Such incidents may occur after a coup d'état (Thailand 2006); when threatened by popular protest (China, Tiananmen Square protests of 1989); to suppress political opposition (Poland in 1981); to stabilize insurrections or perceived insurrections (Canada, The October Crisis of 1970). Martial law may be declared in cases of major natural disasters, however most countries use a different legal construct, such as a "state of emergency".

I can see something like this happening. The commie/muslin/homosexual machine will do everything and everything to keep him in office. The republican nominee cannot win a close election. He HAS to win by several percentage points or we will have a war in America. They simply are not going to give up this chance of a life time in taking all total control.

They've been practicing all year in Wisconsin.
