April's Fool

Is Hillary Clinton the next Rocky Balboa? Clinton cast herself as the legendary underdog today, saying that when it comes to finishing a fight, "Rocky and I have a lot in common." Would a big Pennsylvania win quiet calls for Clinton to drop out of the race? Of course, but the latest Rassmussen has Obama only down 5 points to Clinton with three weeks to go. Furthermore, Obama is outspending Clinton 3-1 which continues to signal that the Clinton campaign is indeed strapped for cash. Even PA Governor Ed Rendell, a Clinton supporter, is out "lowering expectations" of the size of Clinton's victory, should there be one, in Pennsylvania. All the while, Obama continues to rack up delegates in Mississippi and Texas and superdelegates in Minnesota and North Carolina. At this point the odds of Mrs. Clinton winning the Democrat nomination are 1 in 10. Even Rocky Balboa had better odds against Apollo Creed, and he was heavyweight champion of the world, not some junior Senator from Illinois with nary a bill to his name!
