My answers: (responses of which dictated by my previous answers, not that other points are irrelevant per se, but irrelevant as far as my answers are concerned)
1. Not at all. Even his most strident Demwit supporter would be offended at such an obviously transparent action. He’d be run out on a rail if he tried that.
2. Significant concern (with a caveat). I’d submit, any state that is contesting voter ID laws, and where such contests actually have a shot of succeeding, is already lost to the Dem machine, truly. IOW, already known as a blue state, so not really a net gain for Obama.
4. Slightly concerned. He may try to repeat the contest of 2000; I can already see the headlines now, “If Bush can do it, why can’t Obama?”
5. Only VERY “slightly concerned”. I only say that because there’s no way to predict the weather/natural disasters. And it would have to be a natural disaster to even consider such an obviously transparent action; a natural disaster of significant proportion that such a “crisis” would reasonably extend past the time the new President would be sworn in. See the movie “Deep Impact”, “2012”, or the supposed “Myan prophecies” for what I’m talking about here. Also, it would have to be a natural disaster, not some man made disaster; see point 1.
6. If point 1 occurs, there will be an almost immediate uprising, with no real “civil war”. Again, he’ll just simply be thrown out almost immediately. If point 5 occurs, to the degree I specified, there won’t be enough of humanity left to engage in Civil War II, so kind of a moot point.
(other questions, again, ignored for their irrelevancy given my answers)
I guess I forgot this:
If point 4 occurs, I don’t see that inciting a second civil war. People in this country, IMO, have enough faith in the court system to work that kind of replay out.
In general, I don’t think a second civil war is a significant concern. Quite frankly, I think we have more to worry about from the “Mayan Prophecies” than another civil war breaking out in this country. The majority of this country are simply too apathetic and/or uninformed for such to take place.
After all, there are more important things than politics, like who will be the next “American Idol”. < /sarc>
