Hillary will win the democratic nomination and will become #44. She knows this is her year similar to 1976 when a nobody named Carter beat the establishment candidate. The Republicans will assist her by running a nobody candidate in which nobody will care to listen to nobody and focus instead on the CLINTON juggernaut. Iraq will not even be an campaign issue because Bush will compromise with Congress by telling everyone to keep their heads down, and for Godsakes, no more patrols. Hillary will not want to carp on Iraq because it will remind anyone listening of the VOTE. The Democratic consultants and focus groups will see to it that the issues are as bland as possible and keep their candidate out of harm's way (no Bill O'Reilly for our Hillary). Voter turnout will be an unexciting 35% and everything will be very predictable and decidedly bland. Richardson will be on the ticket because he knows how to be bland and predictable, takes orders well and comes from a bland state.
How do I know this? Just follow the money!
