Clinton likens herself to 'Rocky'

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080401/ap_on_el_pr/clinton_labor

Uh, Senator Clinton, in Rocky, Rocky Balboa loses to Apollo Creed.

Questions:
1. Does Senator Clinton not remember this part of the film?; or

2. Is she making a subtle point/comparison about the split decision victory of Creed as compared to the primary campaign?; or

3. Or is it simple pandering to the Philadelphia crowd?

(Also, to beat this deceased equine of a comparison even further, what are the semiotics of Rocky IV in this light?)

(It's rife, I tell you, RIFE wit' da symbolisms.)
