Ive never seen a riot over a football game. I have seen riots of soccer but since those folks arent American it doesnt really apply does it? Still, those "rioters" are Hooligans and not of the ilk most decent Americans are made of. So not there will NOT be any riots.

These unreasonable radical left wing Obama supporters' are hijacking whats left of the Democratic Party in exactly the same way the Evangelical Christians hijacked the Republican Party.


Hijacking? Please explain.

Amazing! That's how I feel about it too! There does seem to be a real left wing agenda in the Obama candidacy. Not "sort of left wing" or "centrist" but a real "way out there left wing" agenda.

Remember when Denver won the Superbowl?

I know for a fact that regardless of who wins the Democratic Nomination, the Democratic party will be decimated. Based on the idiocy of the majority of the Democratic party at large during this cycle, it's clear I no longer identify with the party as a whole.

If Hillary gets the nomination, I will vote for her. If she doesn't, I'll be voting for John McCain. Either way, I'm officially done with the Democratic Party and Hillary will be the LAST Democratic candidate for President that I will ever vote for.

I didn't realize the same divide existed in the Democratic party too. I assumed that Democrats would all support whoever won. So you'd leave the fractured and infighting Democratic Party for the even more fractured and infighting Republican Party.

Well, I'd like to leave the Republican Party but sadly have no where to go. Maybe Libertarian? Nah, they don't matter much.

Yes, if Obama loses to McCain, riots will likely follow.

And it will certainly be a demographic/ethnic issue.

Here's how it will likely play out ...

... if things aren't looking good Obama will inject the "race card" into the situation. The media will play along too. On election day there will be manufactured reports of people being "disenfranchised". Al Sharpton, Farrakan and Jackson will be busy whipping people up into a frenzy as well. The media will "project" the potential for vote fraud against Obama and people will believe it hook, line and sinker. People will be freaking out, rioting, trying to intimidate officials, etc. After McCain is declared the winner, people will feel disenfranchised and will commit crimes to "get back at who they consider as part of the system" that disenfranchised them.

Some people "in the know" in law enforcement are saying you should start stocking up on supplies depending upon where you live.

I just don't see it being that close if its Obama vs. McCain. So its a non-issue. I think the independents will come out in swarms for Obama.
