Clinton: ‘Rocky’ didn’t quit halfway up the steps; neither will I

She’s in Philadelphia this morning and she’s been hit recently with some calls for her to quit the Democratic presidential race. So it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton compared herself to that movie icon — Rocky.

Has she ever seen the first movie?

SPOILER ALERT!

In the end of the movie Rocky goes up against an articulate and well spoken African American man in a match that should have been over pretty quickly. At the end they’re both beat up beyond belief, neither side actually comes out with a definitive win, and a panel of pre-selected judges determine that Rocky’s opponent wins. Then they both spend 2-3 weeks in a hospital recovering.

On second thought, she nailed that one!
