Look at elections in recent times. Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer who nobody heard of nor cared about. My own grandfather recalled a story about being invited by a friend to meet Carter early in that Presidential race and he asked his friend "who the hell is Jimmy Carter?" and did not meet him. Carter was one of the biggest underdogs in that race. Ronald Reagan was a mediocre actor from California. George Bush Sr. was a senator and CIA director but still, he was not a celebrity. Bill Clinton was an average guy from one of the smallest and poorest states in the Union. Most people did not hear of him before and he was not popular at first. I expect to see someone besides Hillary Clinton, who more than half of Americans said they will never vote for in any circumstance, or Rudy Giuliani become President. I expect to see someone who is the rough equivalent of Mike Huckabee to win the race.

I just watched Meet the Press online, and their roundtable said Huckabee's 2nd place finish in the Iowa Straw Poll was bigger than Romney's win.
He can do it if he can round up the money to get seen. He is a great speaker and has some good ideas.

Yes, many of us would.
But Hillary is DIFFERENT. This was all Decided by the News Media & the Rich Democrat Rulers of our country in 1993.
No one will SURVIVE getting in Her/His way! Remember Vince Foster?
He made a mistake threatening to go to the Authorities.
Little Rock Cemetaries are full of people who crossed the Clintons.

The reason why these unknowns surged up to become president was because they were TriLateral-CFR members. Ronald Reagan was not part of these. He wasn't an unknown. He was governor of California for some years.

Underdogs are only "underdogs" because they can't get the money. That is why I believe in Federal campaign funds for those who are qualified to run for president. That will eliminate all the special interests that both sides hate.
