What Dems Plan to Do Vrs What Repigs Plan to Do when Either lose the election
Repukes
"Number one, I'm Jewish," she explained. "And number two, I don't believe Obama will support the nation of Israel. Israel will have to defend itself alone, and they are going to need all hands on deck."
Others promised to join Fisher in her post-election exodus. Lori Hatch, a convention-goer from Oregon, said she would move to the Czech Republic. Sheila, a convention attendee from Tampa who would only reveal her first name, said she would basically disengage from normal society, "get out of the mainstream of all the things I do for the community and business and all of the charitable things I would do."
Then there was Newt Gingrich, who wouldn't even consider the hypothetical. "That's a thought so terrible I can't contemplate it," said the former House speaker.

Convention-goers also were relatively unified in what they would do if Romney beat Obama in November: cry, pray and consider moving out of the country.
Sixteen said -- albeit jokingly -- that they would think about leaving the United States, naming Canada, Italy, Costa Rica, Spain and Brazil as countries they would flee to. Ten people said they would simply cry, and another 10 said they would get down on their knees and start praying for the country.
"If I had wallpaper to strip, I would do that as a therapeutic thing," said Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.).
Others couldn't even think about this possibility.
"That would be not worth waking up [for]," said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas). "I don't pretend to even dream about seeing that. I'm going to wake up and see the reelection of Barack Obama."
"I'm an athlete, and from the earliest days, they told us never to be focused on a loss; you focus on a victory, you imagine a victory, you feel a victory, you claim a victory and that's what I'm doing with Obama," added Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D). "I'm not even going to answer that question because my mind can't go there."
Mellisa Williams, 44, of Charlotte, N.C., worried what would happen on the issue of women's rights: "As a woman, probably take my vagina out 'cause he's already got it."
Jewell Williams worried about what would happen to federal programs that many members of his family depend upon.
"I would probably pull my family together ... and actually start to organize a real plan for the next four years on how we're going to survive," said Williams. "It's going to be very difficult. I'm going to have to find ways to help them because I believe the social programs are going to be cut."
