[edit] Sinclair novel
The idea that either Winrod, an anti-Semite and crypto-Fascist, or the nonracial populist Huey Long, is the basis for a character in It Can't Happen Here doesn't make sense. Either aspects of the personalities of both may have contriubuted to the character is possible, or there exits the possibilty that the character was based on neither of them or of no real person in particular, but the "either/or" idea that he is based on one of two such near-opposites is ludicrous. Also, it doesn't really belong in the article in absence of a citation to a published work that shows that a knowledgable critic has alledged such; what one or another editor thinks on his or her own is really just non-pertinent, unencyclopedic "original research".
