Hillary won&#039;t win, and I&#039;ll tell you why. If there is one immutable fact in America today, it is that the majority of people being sufficiently superficial and non-critical won&#039;t vote for someone they don&#039;t like. We are 13 months(!) away from the real election, and HRC has the spotlight sewed up for all that time. If there is one thing we know about Hillary, NO ONE LIKES HER! Not her husband, not her friends, not her colleagues, not the journalists that cover her, not anyone that has ever met her. At best, people tolerate her for some secondary gain.

Now imagine her sour puss barking at you every day for the next 13 months, tellin&#039; you why she is superior to you, there&#039;s something wrong with you if you don&#039;t agree with her, and by the way, give me your money. People will be looking for ways to avoid hearing her by the end.

She is already prone to gaffes, frightening hysterics, hyperbole, corruption, and cackling. Plus her default personality is condescension. Imagine your most annoying acquaintance living with you for the next 13 months! There is no way that she is not going to expose herself (rhetorically) dozens of times while under pressure, and offer up MULTIPLE &quot;voted for it before I voted against it&quot; moments. The kicker is that 45-50% of people already have said that they wouldn&#039;t vote for her under any circumstances.

That&#039;s what Hillary is fighting against in this 24-hour-but-30-second-sound-bite media. Even to the degree that she controls the Media hegemon and her rockstar husband, there is no media monopoly anymore, and the real Hillary will come out, and the MSM will have to show it. that she essentially controls. The bottom line is that she has failed in everything she has ever done without Bill&#039; coattails. At some point, people are going to say, &quot;Bill&#039;s not running, she is; and, I can&#039;t stand to listen to this b*tch for the next 4-8 years!&quot;

So we have that going for us.</description>

		<description>I agree on your take regarding News Corp&#039;s Z-score.  One thing to consider though is that the company, unlike the other media companies listed, has been expanding by using debt to leverage its growth, which in part accounts for its grey-zone score.

Another factor is that Alleva would seem to be using a different version of &lt;a href=&quot;http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2006/06/predicting-bankruptcy.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Altman&#039;s Z-score&lt;/a&gt; than I&#039;m familiar with - one that would seem to reverse the usual scale indicating financial distress.</description>
