what will be the reaction? will there be candle light vigils? will they scream racism? what is going to happen? there is a chance he will win, and if he does, congrats, but if he loses, what will the "world" think? how quickly will the mccain war crimes trials begin? when will we finance race relations? this is a damned if you do, damned if you don't election. I wish that a write in candidate would win. someone like "alf." just to show the federal government what a big huge joke they are. who's with me?

i will be REALLY sad for this country if obama loses. i don't think that we really know at this point if racism will play a big part in the election. i personally feel that most who wouldn't vote for obama on account of his race would vote republican anyway. but if he loses, i think that the media would really play up the racial thing. i hate to say it, but i think that if mc cain wins, it might really be time to move to another country.

Back when George Bush the first won over Michael Dukakis, I knew these guys who ALWAYS referred to President Bush as President unDukakis. Maybe people could do something like that if the worst happens and McCain wins. Wonder how much the population of Canada will increase if that happens? Just saying....

you won't. this country has a system of checks and balances assuring us that no matter who is president, they can't do too much harm. I think obama is an idiot, but I wouldn't move to another country. I think mccain is an idiot, but I wouldn't move to another country. your assessment on people not voting for obama because of race is off. there are lots of southern democrats out there.

If I had a nickle for ever liberal that promised to move to another country if so and so wins an election I could retire today. I wish they would just back up their words with actions. The US would be a better place. BTW I would do nothing if Obama wins except get ready for the most entertaing 4 years in some time.

it won't happen. susan sarandin and tim robbins have talked about this forever. they have no guts. they won't give up citizenship. the worst thing that could happen isn't a mccain victory. it's a mccain vs obama election. they are the exact same candidate. warmongering, big spending idiots.

I think there will be joy in every middle class home in this country if Obama loses. That will signal that George Soros cannot (yet) buy an election outright through 527 groups and through his 100 million Dollar push on MoveOn, as he is trying to do with the Obama thing.

I am sure if Obama loses they will cry racism, but Obama is doing that RIGHT NOW, I don't see the difference if he does it after the election.

Oh please! Saying people that vote based on race vote GOP... really? How come 90% of blacks vote Obama??

In case you forgot, Michael Steele (black GOP candidate in Maryland) was defeated by a white, racist type Democrat for US Senate in Maryland in 2006. Blacks voted partisan Democrat and whites (the "racist" GOP voters you are talking about) voted for a black man.

Face it: GOP voters vote character and substance. Dems are the ones voting race and image.

Stop drinking Kool Aid and look at the facts.
