Hillary in Philly and Rocky Balboa
"Sen. Obama says he's getting tired of the campaign,” she said. “His supporters say they want it to end. Well, could you imagine if Rocky Balboa had gotten half way up those Art Museum stairs and said, ‘Well, I guess that's about far enough?’ That's not the way it works. Let me tell you something, when it comes to finishing the fight, Rocky and I have a lot in common. I never quit. I never give up.”


someone need to tell her that in that movie, Rocky lost to a black man...

you can't make this stuff up :)

2. Seriously...Rocky Balboa...? Is this the best she can do?
Who the hell is working for her to come up with this lame theme?

I thought she was looking towards the future like Obama? Errr...that's not the message Rocky Balboa brings to mind.

3. Rocky just wanted to go the distance. He knew he wasn't going to win.

but that didn't make it so, Hillary.

Jesus, does this woman do ANYTHING but pander to her target audience? I expect next she'll be parading around in an Eagles jersey and chomping on cheesesteaks in an effort to get people to vote for her.

7. So are there any HIllary supporters who happily bashed Obama
for his "embarrassing bowling moment" yesterday who thinks this isn't embarrassing for her? I'm sure there aren't. It's a valid comparison right? Does Rocky have the "experience" :rofl:

11. Not only that. Sylvester Stallone endorsed McCain.
AND Rocky Balboa is a fictional character, a Philly fairytale if you will.

Ouch!
