Two years ago I wrote The Splintering of the Democratic Party, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Albert Gore take a shot at the Green Party nomination. That's more likely than a Nader-Paul alliance.

I wouldn't be surprised to see both parties splinter and the election decided in the House.

Take a close hard look at the election of 1912. When Theodore Roosevelt completed his effort at repaying the Republican Party for turning their backs on him, they finished third in the national election, fourth in a few states where Eugene Debs' Socialists were particularly well-organized.

And history can and has sometimes managed to repeatr itself on occasion.
