We'll see how many surprises there are tonight. 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. Let's hope it's not the latter.
- kirse 18y agoWhat country are you from that riots after an election?
- DTrejo 18y agoWe hope we are in a country that is devoid of apathy and full of citizen participation.
- khafra 18y agoThat's one thing that's always struck me about certain other countries' legislative bodies. South Korea, for instance, has a long tradition of fistfights on the legislative floor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4wn70xPxzc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4wn70xPxzc). They also have one of the best telecommunications infrastructures in the world; perhaps we should encourage pugilistic resolutions to Congressional filibusters in the USA.
- anamax 18y agoIn some large US cities, "celebrating the victory" is a riot.
- anamax 18y ago> 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.
- RavingGoat 18y agoWhich is worse fraud or anger over fraud?
- rrhyne 18y agoI'm white as a sheet and I'll be rioting if McCain wins. Heh.
- Niten 18y ago> 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. 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.

No mention of Fox, and that's without going into the lefty blogosphere.
- cthulha 18y agoI 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.
