There are going to be riots either way because: BOTH CHOICES ARE NOT GOOD.
Riots or revolution, depending on which side takes the Office.

No I'm talking about the electionThe only riot last time was the Brooks Brothers Riot.
There won't be a riot if Obama loses. First of all, it isn't looking likely he will lose. Second, no body cares that much about the Presidential Elections. Voter turnout is under 50% for anything these days and a vast majority can barely name anyone in the Federal Government at all.
There's always an irrational fear of riots on the part of the Right whenever an election comes around. What I find more frightening is the Right and their love of forming Militias whenever their guy loses.
On the right? are you fucking kidding? If the supreme court rules and obama loses yes there will be riots.
One, if you're talking about SCOTUS and Obamacare, the only riots you'll see is if the Court upholds. The Mandate is so generally unpopular that the only folks upset if it gets struck down will be the insurance executives.
If you're talking about the SCOTUS interfering in the General Election I see that as being incredibly unlikely. This won't be a race decided by a single state. This will be a landslide, either for or against Obama and will come down to the economy. If it's ok come October, Obama walks back into office in November. If it's in the pits, then Romney will walk into the Oval Office with a fairly large electoral victory.
Like I said, the only riots that you saw when the SCOTUS stepped in in 2000 was the Brooks Brothers Riot, and that was a majority of folks that were very specifically involved in President Bush's campaign looking to stop a recount. The picture of the "riot" pretty clearly identifies guys that went on to serve in positions throughout the administration. If there is the need for a SCOTUS ruling, and if it goes against Obama, that'll be where it stops.
Let's also get this out of the way. I find the whole "RIOT!" angle here vaguely racist. There were no riots when Carter lost. There were no riots when Gore lost. There were no riots when Kerry lost. There were no riots when the GOP went after Clinton. There were no riots in 2010 when the Democrats lost control of the House.
There's literally NO historical precedence for expecting a riot over a lost election. None. So why are you expecting one now? The only new angle to the whole thing is the racial angle.
There is precedent for Far Right folks to arm up and form some dangerous militias following lost elections. That happened when Clinton won and when Obama won. I expect we'll see more of that when Obama wins in 2012.
Why would anyone change their minds, given the alternative?
Because both alternatives suck and as long as we keep pulling the lever for "the lesser of two evils" all we are going to get is evil.

We pull the lever for someone we think can win. If there are others out there, why haven't they prospered? It's like we're supposed to give handouts to the failures!!!
If Obama loses in November the left will have a melt down and there will be Country wide riots in the cities.
You promise?
I hate humans, especially the worthless and thieving kind, thus two things make my day: 1) voluntary targets, and 2) adequate justification.
Hell yeah, bring it on you immature whinny crybaby entitlement suckling commie libtard bitches out there that think the world owes you a blow job and more, those of you that would want to enslave me and others with your infantile blood sucking nanny state robbing hoodlum extortion demands. Make one hostile move in my direction and your corpse(s) will be turned into dog food and fuel. Time to cull the human gene pool!
You're a sick fuck.

Then again, I ask why on Earth are you expecting a riot? There's literally no precedence for a riot following a lost election, ESPECIALLY by Democrats. The closest thing to a riot you have is the Brooks Brothers Riot in 2000, and that was a staged event for the cameras by the GOP.
I'd actually like someone to honestly address this, because the only difference between 2012 and ANY of the previous years where someone lost an election is that one of the candidates is black. Period. Is that enough the only reason you all think there will be a riot?
I just don't get it. The only thing I can think of is that you're expecting a Rodney King style riot, which means you really do not get the underlying reasons why that particular riot occurred and why it didn't go national.
If you're trying to make some case based on the OWS movement, that particular movement is pretty well dead at this point and won't be a factor in November. Plus, that movement doesn't exactly support Obama.
Rodney King....
I doubt it.
then again, right now it doesn't really look likely that Obama will lose.
Soo you don't believe the Democrats will come to their senses?
Do you?

..highly unlikely.. winning by any means is all that's important to the Democrats..

'tis true, but it isn't any different on the Republican side.
Damn, I wish we could elect people that actually cared about the direction this country was headed!

I believe Republicans would be far more fiscally responsible and wiser on the spending side. Granted, they would still waste money but nothing like the Obama/Democrat legacy.
The best that could happen is for voting Democrats and Republicans to give up this party line crap and be more concerned with, as you say, "the direction this country was headed!"

I predict blacks (and progressives in general) will cry racism...
I predict name calling, riots and stomping of feet...
I predict sooner rather than later people will realize their dollar is worth nothing more than the paper it is printed on...

It all supports the Republican scare tactic of the angry black man. They pull it every election
