My prediction includes two scenarios . . . the first is that prior to the election, marshal law is declared because of a terrorist threat and the election will be ?postponed? until a later date; the second, Kerry wins and prior to handing over power, marshal law is declared because of a terrorist threat and the handover in power is ?postponed? until a later date. Either way, I think the Republicans will not hand over power. George W early on said it would be much easier if he was a dictator. As to the ?terrorist? threat, I wouldn?t put it past the current administration to lie and make that part all up. I also wouldn?t put it past the administration to actually blow something up or kill people and say it was terrorism to justify the ?postponement?. And, I don?t that that postponed date will every come. I also predict that the American people will stand by and let it happen. This will happen for 2 reasons. Apathy and the fact that most people are working some many hours and days that they don?t have time to protest in the streets. They are too worried about making ends meet and taking care of their kids, ?cause as you know, if you have kids, there isn?t much quality affordable day care around much anymore. Some welcome to 1984; it has just been ?postponed? a few years.
