I think if Bush were to win in as contentious a manner as 2000 with perhaps a scandal involving an October suprise or Diabold voting machines then I think that many Americans would loose faith in the democratic process and I would not be suprised if direct action groups would not arise. If Kerry were to win on a norrow margin or even in a contentious apointment as in 2000 I think most Bush supporters will take the beating, Bush has lost the public zeitgeist and most of his supporters must realise that him loosing is a real possibility, also that if they have an election stolen from them well it is not as if it hasn't already happened in their favour. So I think the most dangerous proposition is a repeat of 2000.
