Things are entirely too quiet. I expected riots as well, but so far, nothing. That makes me more afraid because I honestly think people are taking time to plan. Call me a conspiracy theorist or whatever, but I think the danger will mount as we get closer to Inauguration.

Actually, it seems with victories like this, the riots tend to be supporters of the candidate. Take, for example, the eruption of Oakland (around Pitt's campus) in Pittsburgh, PA, when the Steelers won Super Bowl XL. Those were Steelers fans flipping over cars.
Or, WVU fans when WVU wins in football. Those flaming couches don't just light themselves.
They were talking on the news today about how well Chicago did when thrust into the political spotlight. No major security incidents were reported. Everyone's pretty proud that, while the celebration was HUGE and completely sincere, it didn't turn violent. Hopefully it's a sign of how Chicagoans will behave when and if we get the Olympics in 2016.
