Hillary Clinton has repeatedly compared to herself to Rocky Balboa, the pugnacious Philadelphian who never gave up. (Wags, of course, responded by saying Rocky lost his fight to a younger, famous black man.)
But if we are coming to the end of the road for the Clinton campaign, we would be derelict in not offering this clip up, if only because it encapsulates everything that has gone on during the past few months.
It helps if you liken Rocky climbing up the ropes to Clinton's win in Ohio. Oh, and you also have to pretend Talia Shire is Howard Dean. Then it all works.

Hillary is in to win it and she will!

This election is over people. Look at the math alone. There are a little over 400 delegates left, and Hillary needs 363 delegates still to win. She would have to win a staggering 60+ percent of the remaining delegates in order to have enough for the nomination. Barack Obama has claimed victory, and its time for Hillary to step aside and support Obama before she helps McCain's crazy old ___ get into the White House more than she already has!

Unfortunately, she's more like the Sylvester Stallone of now, than the Rocky of the 70's.
I hope she will dig deep and find a way to bow out gracefully, rather than having to be dragged from the stage like a bad act.
I wish she would get some dignity. It's embarassing.

It is time to unite the party behind a candidate. Barack has won this contest. Let's help Hillary bow out by not prolonging the contest. Vote Obama.
