Poll question: Safe or Sorry

If I'm not mistaken, there's a sizable minority here on DU who are concerned at a total lack of any semblance of a plan should the unthinkable be announced in 8 days. I believe a majority of us feel that publicly discussing the unthinkable here on DU raises the profile of the "they're gonna riot if they lose" fear-mongering. However in the absence of an official campaign message to, "calm down, do your part by showing up to vote and we'll make sure they don't steal it," I don't think it's unreasonable or risky to openly discuss even a simple course of action (such as "drop everything and camp your asses in front of Shrub's pad") should the unthinkable come to pass.

It is reassuring the steps the campaign has taken to keep a watchful eye next week, but at the end of the day even the largest army of lawyers ever assembled doesn't mean it can't still happen. After all, Gore didn't lose because he needed a few more lawyers.

So the question. If we continue to discuss what we should do if McCan't steals it, we will be more...
