Ok the economy is about to go into a recession. There is little chance to dodge that now.

Oil continues to skyrocket led mainly by the fact that money is being dumped on the economy.

People allowed themselves to be influenced this early.

Price of gas will rise while jobless rates will also rise.

Food is skyrocketing.

The mexican military along with their drug runners is invading us on a regular basis.

Yes Hillery will wave some magic wands (Ending the War, Social Medicine) and do some other things to gain some trust. Yet if things continue to drop and people continue to decend into sheephood.

Well yes there is a chance she can "delay" elections or even easily change the rules in the name of "Keeping America Strong"

A depression without a good source of raw energy will likely throw us back into the steam age or worse. She knows she can influence people now. So she has a chance to pull off a dictatorship in the future.

Well--that's a pretty worst case scenario (I hope). But frankly, I'm not as surprised by today's results. I said earlier in this thread that results would be very hard to judge before hand because of the turnout of independants and young voters this cycle.

I won't discount your concern though. The last couple elections have been really close and one of them Very controversial. A little paranoia isn't all bad.

But think about this. Watching these two (Hillary and Barack) throwing fastballs at each other for a while might work to our advantage. I'd like to see who has the wit to dodge and the stamina to stand up to the heater for at least a couple months. It's less pressure than they'll face in the White House.
