recounts, lawsuits, appeals, oh my!

Ladies, I have a great, great fear I can't shake. It is that Nov 5 we will not know who our next president will be. That if Obama comes out ahead in electoral votes John McCain and his party will demand recounts, file lawsuits and appeals. The thought of this and its effect on the nation's morale and further declining economy will be devastating. But this is a reality that is not beyond imagining. I hope I am wrong.
