I dunno, host, I've been watching pretty closely, and I don't see the behavior of an administration that's going to pull out martial law or cancel elections or anything like that. I see a lame-duck president in spin-down mode. We'd be hearing more and more drumbeats of war, I think.
To the contrary, Bush said yesterday that, with regard to Iran, while the military option is not off the table, but he'd prefer to resolve the matter through peaceful diplomatic means. Aside from being an example of disgusting Chaimberlainish appeasement, that's just not the talk of somebody working the public up into a lather to support a constitutional sidestep.
