Travellers’ Blog Entry No. 30

People are concerned about Obama loosing the elections. On many websites the users discuss about what they will do if McCain becomes the new President of the USA.

Here are some statements taken from http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/10/26/163647/38:

"If Obama were to lose, there will be rioting in the streets! And I'll be at the front of the pack! And shortly after that I'll untie the dock lines to my boat and sail away again." (reflectionsv37)

"The theft would be so huge that there will be tons of evidence of electoral fraud. The Obama campaign has assembled an army of lawyers: they've planned for this. And I'm sure the plans count on massive popular protest to provide much of the political pressure. Obama's greatest leadership challenge will be leading us in PEACEFUL protest. As long as we can keep it peaceful, we'll win." (Mind That)

"If McCain wins, an entire generation will be lost. Obama electrified them and if they lose, they will give up caring. If they give up caring, we get a new batch of Rove-like politics to exploit the dwindling masses who do care. But, that isn't likely...thankfully." (thecozz77)

"If Obama loses I would go into a deep depression. I would fear for my Country with McInsane and Bible Spice in charge. My husband and I would take our 4 children and move." (sueellen)


You can see through these statements how much hope has been put into Barack Obama. The people want to see their country change politically.
Many of them speaking about leaving the country, others predicting riots in the streets.
Manipulated voting machines are mentioned - you can feel how they mistrust the government under George W. Bush and how desperately the want Obama and the Democrats as the new leaders in the US.
