Hillary Clinton lives to fight another day after defeating Barack Obama in the Pennsylvania democratic primary race. I must confess, when I heard an audio sound bite from one of her speeches in Philadelphia earlier this week, which included the playing of the Rocky theme song at the end, I thought it was all a bit too much hokey stagecraft. But, now? Well, she's picked herself up off the mat. And who am I to question the "eye of the tiger"?
It looks like Indiana really will matter in this presidential race after all (at least for the Democrats). We'll keep you posted as the frontlines of this ground war moves to the Hoosier state. 
UPDATE: The more I've thought about the Rocky backdrop on this victory, the more I realized how much money I would pay to see Hillary run up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a la the Italian Stallion. The word is that she's needing more money to match up against Obama. Do I see a fundraiser in the making? :)
Also, this morning's Indianapolis Star reported that this win for Hillary puts the current delegate count at 1694.5 for Obama and 1561.5 for Hillary (with 60 still to be awarded), according to the latest AP tally. My question, "Who's the poor delegate that gets to fall under Solomon's sword?" (1 Kings 3:16-28)
UPDATE: Here's Gary Varvel's take on the Hillary the Tortoise.
An interesting little bit I heard on the news today: The majority (almost 70%) of Obama supporters said that if he does not get the nomination, they will choose to stay home on election day instead of supporting the Democratic nominee (which would be Hil). That might be a bit of encouragement to McCain.

there's nothing in the world that could convince me to vote for hillary.
last night during her speech it was all i could do not to turn the tv off in frustration at her obvious fakeness.
obama's speech, on the other hand, was gracoius, genuine and inspriring.
while i won't be staying home on election day if hillary gets the nomination, i will not be voting for her.

Chris, I'm not voting for Hillary either. I just want her to get the nomination so that all of the Obama supporters stay home on election day and McCain wins.
