Yo I Didn't Hear No Bell

Hillary Clinton won the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary yesterday by a 10 point margin. While the victory did not help her much as far as the delegate count, Clinton and her camp are attempting to spin her Pennsylvania victory into much more. Senator Clinton told her supporters "Some counted me out and said to drop out,"But the American people don't quit. And they deserve a president who doesn't quit, either." I congratulate Clinton on her Pennsylvania victory, especially because the Obama outspent her 3 to 1 on advertising leading up to the primary. The problem with the Senator's statement is that it IS over for her campaign. OK, true if you are a Clinton, it depends on what "is" means. It is virtually impossible for Senator Clinton to win enough delegates to best Senator Obama for the Democratic nomination. Well the Hill-in-ator is not going to let something like mere facts slow her down, she is going after the Democratic Party's Super Delegates. If she cannot win the nomination fair and square, it seems she is willing to kick sand in Obama's eyes and swipe the nomination while he is blinded. Clinton's case relies on the premise that she is more electable in the general election, and will fight the Republican nominee Senator John McCain harder than Obama. Clinton also claims that Obama can't win in important swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania. Senator Clinton is determined to fight to the bitter end. After all, a few weeks ago she compared herself to Rocky Balboa in a Pennsylvania campaign stop. She said "Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing a fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up. A very interesting comparison for sure. In fact I do see some similarities between Clinton's campaign and the six Rocky films. Rocky I : Clinton falls behind in the delegate count and cannot win the nomination. Rocky II : Clinton pulls off a slight upset victory in one State, Pennsylvania. Rocky III : An over confident Clinton takes her victory and her opponent for granted and loses. Rocky IV : Clinton wraps herself in the Flag and transforms into Annie Oakley spurring a Pennsylvania Primary victory and sustains serious brain trauma in the attempt. Rocky V : Clinton tells Obama "Yo my ring is in the street" with a serious on very negative campaign ads. Rocky VI : Even though she has given her best, a tired old Clinton looses the younger Obama. For once one of Hillary Clinton's wacky statements has some truth to it.
