Here at last, my long-awaited prediction. I believe Hillary will receive the Democratic Party presidential nomination, though perhaps with only a plurality of the convention's votes. I believe she will go on to face Senator John McCain (Arizona) in the general election. Currently, the media speaks of McCain as if his campaign were over. I believe this is a smokescreen, to lull the "opposition" into a sense of comfort. Soon, the media will begin referring to them in sneering tones, while McCain becomes their new darling.

McCain's top Republican rivals are former Governor Mitt Romney (Massachusetts) and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani (New York). Romney is a bigger nutcase than George W. Bush is, and Giuliani is about as trustworthy as Hillary is, with the morals to match. Rumors abound that the current mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, is considering entering the race. His reregistering as an independent (he was Republican) fueled speculation that he was interested in running. If he does run, he will get no more than 20% of the popular vote, drawn from both major candidates. As to the question of Bloomberg's candidacy drawing enough votes to tilt the results to either Hillary or McCain, it hardly matters. Both are loyal to the System and have willingly followed orders all their political lives.

In addition, of course, I believe McCain will win the election. America still is too misogynist to elect a woman president. If Obama were to get the Democratic nomination, McCain would win because America still is too racist to elect a black man (or woman) president. If in some impossible alternative universe Gravel were to get the Democratic nomination, the Democrats would have a very good chance of winning the White House. And of making history.

I believe I have amply demonstrated that Hillary does not deserve election to the presidency. Instead she needs to accompany Bush and all other war criminals to an international war crimes tribunal. It is one thing to lie about one's political positions. It's much more serious – and repulsive – when your lies mean hundreds or thousands more will be senselessly killed.

I have attempted to make this a balanced article. Now, at the end, I feel more contempt for Hillary than when I began. Instead of a babbling brook, she is a babbling crook. So please, when you go to vote in the primary election, remember, don't vote for Hillary Clinton! Thank you.

Naturally, all of the above assumes honest elections: no adjustments by Karl Rove, as in 2000 and 2004.
