Stalin was a backwoods "hillbilly" and failed poet who was ridiculed for his public speaking because it gave away his "hillbilly" Georgia accent.
Hitler was a failed painter who fancied himself a hero of the masses, was ridiculed as a buffoon by 1920s Weimar Republic intelligensia & artists, before his Third Party Brownshirts helped him seize power in a disputed, divided election in which no candidate received the minimum number of votes to take office.
In 1992, a Third Party (Ross Perot) split the Republican vote and allowed Clinton to win the Presidency. However, if Democrats had been extremely UNPOPULAR and Republicans had split a much larger vote, in thirds -- as happened in the U.S. Presidential Election of 1824 -- then the 1992 election would have been thrown into the House of Representatives (as required by the U.S. Constitution, and happened in 1824, electing President John Quincy Adams). Because the minimum threshhold of electoral votes would not have been reached by any candidate.
In 2012, if the economy collapses (as Elizabeth Warren is warning CAN happen, and others are warning WILL happen), then the Republicans will have a majority.
Palin is a backwoods "hillbilly" and failed sportscaster (& soon-to-be failed TV show host) who is ridiculed for her public speaking. She fancies herself a hero for the masses -- in fact, she fancies herself messianic (Google "Sarah Palin + Esther"). Her attempted usurping of the Tea Party is unobstructed. Her Brownshirts will rage in the streets for different reasons -- some for Biblical fundamentalist reasons, some for racist reasons, and soon -- when the U.S. dollar is intentionally destroyed -- for economic reasons.
In 2012, a Third Party will split the (majority) Republican vote. No candidate will reach the minimum number of electoral votes required to win the Electoral College (270). By law (the U.S. Constitution), this will throw the election into the House of Representatives. The 2012 Democratic candidate will be Hillary Clinton; Obama will be gone and Biden will defer to Clinton.
The November 2012 House of Representatives will be majority Democratic. By law (the U.S. Constitution), they are obligated to choose the President. They will choose Hillary Clinton. The media will immediately label "concerns of her illegitimacy" as "serious and genuine", the Tea Partiers will rage, and Chile 1973 will repeat. Clinton will hold office for less than two years. The Tea Party Brownshirts are merely a "red carpet" of support for the real threat -- the Pentagon Neocon Tea Party -- who will depose Clinton in a military coup, for which there will be vocal popular support: "Democrats cannot govern, and only the military discipline can save us now."
