Multiple factors could trigger it. Several prominent economists are already on record saying it is now inevitable, just a matter of how soon. Middle east flare-up, Euro, Greece, and now Spain - any one of them could set it in motion. Even if it just puts the brakes on the faint improvements of the past couple months (which it appears to have done based on this morning's numbers), it would have a devastating effect politically. It would take Obama out like a tsunami. That would be almost poetic since it was largely a freak (or manufactured) economic event that swept Obama into office to begin with.
