If McCain wins, 100% chance that those troops are used to quell domestic dissent and protest against administration policy.

Obama... less than 100%, more than 0%.

I liked it very much, wilhelm. So much so that I read the article and clipped very similar bits myself. (We both left out the more extensive rationales, but people will make their own minds up about the importance of this when they read it). Sometimes what is going on requires repetition and a bipartisan or non-partisan approach. A near instant near reclip!
