Also if they win they'd no longer be a thinly stretched rebel group, which managed to defeat a whole Imperial Legion mind you, they'd have the resources of all of Skyrim at their disposal. Not to mention they could potentially ally with 3 different provinces, and since Cyrodiil would most likely be fighting against the Dominion as well that would make a total of 5 provinces vs. the Dominion, instead of the 3 (possible 4, counting Hammerfell) the Empire could pull off.

Tamriel's chances are better off without the Empire. In its current state the Empire is not going to win.
