> I expect that one way or another people will be in the streets when the election ends, either celebrating the victory or rioting in anger.

Which people?

Not to put to fine a point on it, but no one thinks that McCain's supporters will riot if McCain loses while it's almost assumed that Obama's supporters will if Obama does. Curiously enough, this difference is seen as reflecting well on Obama's supporters and even Obama himself.

Assumed by whom? Not to put too fine a point on it, but I'd recommend you stop watching Fox News before your brain rots.



I'm white as a sheet and I'll be rioting if McCain wins. Heh.


Which is worse fraud or anger over fraud?


I think McCain supporters will go batshit crazy if he loses: they'll be convinced that fraud was involved, rather than people getting sick and tired of Republican incompetence.


Not to put too fine a point on it, say I'm the only bee in your bonnet!
