What will happen is that the Corporate Media narrative will immediately switch to "how McCain pulled off his amazing comeback," with a few brickbats hurled at the Democrats for "picking an obviously unelectable candidate." ("Unelectable," of course, will be a synonym for "black" -- and the focus will not be on voter racism but on how "the Democrats should have known better.")
Any complaints about voting irregularities will be brushed off as "the Democrats whining about voter fraud, as usual when they lose an election."

...I should have added that many of the brickbats would have come from within the Democratic Party itself. Should Obama lose, you're going to see a purge of all responsible for his nomination, from Howard Dean on down. By 2012, you'll have a DLC-controlled party organization picking a "safe" nominee.

Personally, I'd like to see a nationwide strike the way they do in Europe. But, we did nothing in 2000, nothing 2004. I have no reason to believe we'll behave differently in 2008.
