What if John McCain wins the November 4th election? What happens if he wins by just one state as in the previous presidential elections? What happens if Barack Obama wins the popular vote but loses the electoral vote? Exactly how will Americans react to yet another unforeseen result on their Election Day?

Let's take a quick look at what the polls are telling Americans today. According to Realclearpolitics.com, there is not one national poll that shows Senator John McCain ahead. When it comes to the usual battleground states (Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada, North Carolina and Indiana) not one poll has John McCain ahead as of 4 days away from Election Day.

Let's look at how Americans feel about President George W. Bush and his administration's actions over the past 8 years. Bush currently has about a 30% approval rating. According to a CBS poll, 81% of Americans feel the country is headed in the wrong direction. McCain's approval ratings are around 52% and Obama's is 64% according to an ABC poll.

Now let's compare the rallies that Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain appear at. According to the media stories, it is Barack Obama that gets 10's of thousands of voters to show up, whereas John McCain is lucky to get a few thousand (unless he has Governor Sarah Palin with him, then there's more - but nothing compared to Obama's rallies).

Let's also look at who from the other side is supporting the enemy sort of speak. John McCain has gained Independent Joe Lieberman and a speech writer named Wendy Button from the Democrat side. Senator Obama has Jim Leach, Lincoln Chafee, Douglas W. Kmiec, Jackson Andrews, John Martin, Francis Fukuyama and Colin Powell just to name a few.

What Republicans have had favorable comments about Obama: Peggy Noonan, George Will, Rich Lowry and William Bennett to name just a few. These same folks had unfavorable comments toward McCain.

According to the media and political pundits, Barack Obama, barring any major development or scandal showing up, will win on Tuesday with anywhere from 280-320 electoral votes.

Going back to the original question, how will supporters of Barack Obama feel if he loses narrowly? What will they do about it, if anything? I'm afraid to say it but because of previous losses and they way they were supposedly 'lost', and because of the things Obama's supporters have been told for the past two months where things stood in the election, I'm almost certain there will be riots and people getting hurt.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating violence; I'm afraid of it happening.

It won't just be 'just' another political loss. Voters will feel cheated in a huge way. They will feel lied to by the media, the political pundits and the 'other side'. They will not believe any so-called 'facts' that are later reported.

Those 'newly' registered voters that actually voted will most likely refuse to ever vote again. They won't trust the system. I know I won't and I've been voting for 40 years now.

If Obama's losing, I sure hope polls start showing that BEFORE Election Day instead of once again getting voter's hopes up and then just knocking them down once again.
