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.)

I'm pretty sure she just means she can run up the stairs.

i think it's 4. she hasn't actually seen the movie. maybe if she had, she wouldn't have thought that the metaphor was such a good idea.

I'm just curious if it means she craps thunder.

	Wow, I am so going to Hell...

The brain flashed to "does this mean she pounds meat?"

I am a very, very bad person.

Very bad.

So going to hell.

Does she mean that Obama is going to get killed by the Predator?

I'm just wondering where Paulie's robot from Rocky IV fits into this?

I liked the "Hillary and Obama are going to settle it with a bowling tournament" news better :)

*curious headtilt* Doesn't she have people in her campaign that prevent her from saying this sort of thing?
