Clinton: 'Rocky' and I aren't quitters - CNN.com:
"Let me tell you something. When it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit," she said.
Apparently Senator Clinton has never watched Rocky. Otherwise, she would realize that the movie ends with Rocky losing to Apollo Creed. All Rocky wanted to do was go the distance against an opponent he knew was superior. Is she trying to tell us something?
Maybe the comparison is appropriate, because Clinton seems hellbent on achieving an ugly loss. Unlike Balboa though, Clinton has no chance of winning over the crowd with her persistence.1
I originally intended to blog a lot during the primaries. I soon realized what a waste of energy it would be since I can't vote in my state's primary. Part of me hopes that Clinton's continued campaign to derail the Democrats in the general election ultimately destroys the party. The US needs a real leftist party, not a slightly less right-wing party and another rightist party.
1. One exception here. If you visit Hillaryis44.org you can see either a brilliant piece of internet performance art or the desperate ravings of terminally deluded Hillary true-believers. I don't know what they smoke over there, but it is strong.
