Unfortunately, if Obama loses, I can see a lot of everday people being dragged into trouble.

I was being a smart ass but really the sort of people that start riots don't tend to be people that actually deeply care about an issue but are more looking for any reason to kick off. Now, who joins in once the scent of stupidity is in the air is a different matter. However, if there is a riot chances are it won't be by people that have actually followed and campaigned for Obama but people looking for any reason to loot.
