A Tale of Two Questions
Question #1: If Obama loses, will black people revolt/riot?
Answer: This is a dumb question, but odds are "no." While there are more than one instance where horrible things have been done to the African-Americans, the closest "reaction" was relatively non-violent.
Question #2: If Obama wins, will white people revolt/riot?
Answer: This is a dumb question, but as long as the political climate does not cause our voters to deteriorate into loosely organized mobs I would say "no." See here for reasons why voters may deteriorate into loosely organized mobs.
Jon Perr answers a better question: What could happen to the Economy if the Democratic candidate Barack Obama wins? Hmmm:

Somewhere, I've got a link to a CNN report that says the same thing about the economy as the NYT thing does. Problem is, Republicans will never believe it unless FAUX or the Wall Street Journal (i.e., FAUX) says it's true (and they're not likely to do so).
And maybe not even then.
FoxNews is the media arm of the GOP so they'll never run a story that says the economy works better under Democrats. I still remember the time they labeled Mark "I love to text interns" Foley, a Republican, with a (D) beside his name when they decided to run a story.
