Reply #9: Martial law is possible. Can you see these guys giving up power willingly?

I can't. Some sort of attack is likely, and DC is the likely target, decapitating the other nationally elected officials (GOP included; the Repubs slavish following will not help them). Conveniently, a number of high officials would be among those killed. Bush? Possibly. Cheney? No chance. Rove? Not likely. There's a hell of a novel in this one. I work in DC, so I won't be around to see how it ends. One thing for sure: They are not likely to relinquish power easily. Rove failed in his clumsy attempt to place sycophants in the U.S. Attorney slots, where they would disenfranchise voters. Rigging the voting machines may have worked in the past, but too many people have to be involved. Not safe, even with the compliant media. So, a terrorist hit and martial law is probably right.
