Jupiter, Florida – With just one day to go before America chooses its next president, the polls have the race uncomfortably tight. Uncomfortable, that is, for the prognosticators who make predictions, the analysts who crunch the numbers and the candidates flying hither and yond between Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Virginia and the other battleground states in a last ditch effort to drive their supporters to the polls.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, former first lady, former secretary of state and the first woman ever nominated to head the ticket of major political party has chosen to go out this way: If a man has ever been rude to you, has ever shown you unwanted attention, has commented unfavorably on your looks or, heaven forbid, grabbed your ass or anything else, get back at them by voting for her. At least that's the way it looks from the ads running what seems like once every five minutes on South Florida television.

If you ask me, it's a lousy reason to pick someone to be the chief executive of your country for the next four years. It's no secret that men are pigs – lots of them, anyway – so consumed by their own delusions about their charm and appeal they think trash talk and a lack of basic manners is the key to success with women. But that, as much as Clinton and her friends want to harp on the issue, is beside the point.

Clinton doesn't want you to think about her plan to raise taxes. She doesn't want you to consider her consistent unwillingness to stand steadfast with the interests of the freedom-loving peoples of the word fighting war on terror.

She wants you to ignore that letter you might have gotten a week or so ago from your health insurance provider letting you know – thanks to a health care reform proposal a lot like what she pushed in the 1990s and the basis for where she plans to go going forward – the plan you picked after your last plan was canceled has itself been canceled. Sure you have other options, but they all have higher premiums, higher deductibles and probably don't allow you to utilize in plan the doctors you have now.

Don't focus on the issues. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. It's the great and powerful defender of the powerless you're supposed to vote for, the one out front in the commercials and campaigning with the likes of Katy Perry and Beyonce and Jay Z – a man who uses language about women in his music that would make Donald Trump blush.

Cast your vote based on emotion and, even better, rage. Ignore her connections to Wall Street and the big banks and big brokerage houses and hedge funds. Don't think about the homosexual killing, women oppressing despotic regimes supporting her over the last few years with contributions to the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative.

Clinton and the Democrats who support her have decided to close out the election in full attack mode, running a negative campaign aided and abetted by members of the mainstream media who've thrown themselves into the effort with all the passion of a Cubs fan watching the last game of last week's World Series.
