In 2002 I used this to project that a "Down home southern style, easy-going, pacifist would win the Presidency in 2008", much like Jimmy Carter in 1976. This was LONG BEFORE Obama was even running for President. It was my most interesting forecast. I then projected a "strong, likeable, moral, resolute man" would win in 1980 to mirror Reagan and it looked like Romney was that man for 2008, but he wasn't likeable. So, trends are uniquely predictable with the right perspective.
