The problem with desperate situations is that desperate people in them do desperate things without real thought as to the long-run consequences. This is why, for example, life guards are trained to NOT rescue drowning people until they stop struggling–they will otherwise, in their terror, drag their rescuer down with them.
Enter the Democrat Elite submarine, diving to crush-depth in the swimming pool of the US public. What would you put past the less-than-ept commanders of said submersible, in their failings to save their political/power lives? I would put nothing past them. Nothing at all.
There is no limits to the evil that such people will do (and we can include many Republicans in that group). My expectations swing to a few extremes:
1) Some enraged and unhinged leftist becomes so bent that they either choose or are directed to attempt assassination. Whether or not they are successful, the social upheavals that follow from the Democratic thug class enable imposition of martial law and delay of elections. This is the Reichstag fire scenario. I say leftist, because its more likely for them to “eat their own” before the situation in the US reaches the civil war point.
2) Obama does nothing and lets the current crop of useful idiot Democrats “die in the fire.” Then, over the next two years he and what’s left of the Democratic party and media spend the entirety of their time blaming the now in-power Repubs/TEAs for anything and everything. It’s an all-or-nothing wager that the US people will be reminded of why they elected Democrats in ’08, and will finally stop squirming on the vivisection table in ’12 and re-elect Obama/Dems, or at least another insider elite like HRC.
3) A natural disaster (man-made or otherwise), facilitated into true crisis by the purposeful bureaucratic smothering of the current regime, blows up and provides the excuse for widespread martial law and etc. per #1. Said disaster might or might not have been tracked by the regime ahead of time and enabled. There is a lot of dice-rolling in this scenario as well, but the Gambler was elected, and apparently doesn’t know there are anything but aces in the deck.
4) Widespread fraud and shenanigans are planned for the election, including legalization of aliens, ballot-stuffing, ACORN-style high-jinx, voter intimidation and etc. No real attempt to conceal it is attempted, because the happy side-effect of an infuriated populace would be, again, martial law in response to civil disturbances.
If I had to put money on it, I would hedge and stick the same amount on #2 and #3.

PS. Oh wait! I *DO* have to put money on it… only they call it “savings” these days….
