Jonah Goldberg makes it the second NRO writer to ponder the incipient civil war if Romney loses.

After all, if Romney loses this thing there will only be a vicious civil war on the right that will make the fight scene from Anchorman seem like one of the slower moments in My Dinner with Andre. I fully expect Sean Hannity to throw a trident at Rich Lowry and the folks from Breitbart.com to ride in tandem on horseback and ensnare Ramesh Ponnuru in their net (with appropriate Planet of the Apes music in the background). I expect to find myself in some sort of pit, my pain collar intact, as a brain bets 10,000 quatloos that I will be able to beat John Podhoretz in a hatchet fight.

Also, if Romney loses, one of two things will likely happen to the country. Either, despite Obama's best efforts, the economy will finally rebound and his policies will be hailed as a vindication for technocratic Keynesian money-vomiting and corporate-branded secular messianism and that perceived vindication will be engraved in the national psyche for generations to come or, thanks to Obama's willful blindness to fiscal realities, our arterial bleeding of debt, and our military retrenchment, the economy will truly go tits-up and we'll be sitting around next to our hoards of gold, bottled water, and canned beans snapping at our kids in pidgin Mandarin, "You think you're tough for eating beans every day? There's half a million scarecrows in Denver who'd give anything for one mouthful of what you got. They've been under siege for about three months. They live on rats and sawdust bread and sometimes . . . on each other. At night, the pyres for the dead light up the sky. It's medieval. And besides, don't blame me, I voted for Romney."

Okay, maybe I'm overstating things slightly -- slightly.

But seriously, this is kind of an important election.
