Viva Hillary Clinton!

Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    To use a baseball analogy

    He have a hot veteran hitter (Clinton winning 3 out of ever 4 primaries lately) who we have dceide to sit on the bench.

    Meanwhile, we have a slumping rookie (Obama) who has had a couple of good months at the beginning of the season, so his season average looks ok, but he has clearly been unable to hit the ball out of the infield for some time now. But upper management has been grooming this youngster and they are going with him come hell or high water.

    Are we going to head into the World Series and start a scuffling greenhorn? Over a hot-hitting veteran? Really? Also, Clinton has faced Republican pitching for years and has done very well, thank you. She knows what they throw and how to hit it. Obama, it seems, is till learnting how to handle softballs from his own party.

    Are the Democrats that out of touch with reality, so conflict averse and so allergic to competition that they'll still put Obama out there against McCain when he's consistently losing primaries in his own party? Do they want to win this thing or are they just love-struck over the new guy?

    Makes no sense to me. Maybe the Supers will take into account momentun, swing states, and second half batting average. A good baseball manager sure would.
