Metaphorically Speaking ...

I couldn't help but draw a possibly ironic metaphorical connection here...

I heard that Hillary Clinton planned to have her daughter place a bet at the Kentucky Derby last Saturday on the 20 to 1 long shot filly Eight Belles. I presume she meant this as a metaphor for her campaign. You know, the long shot filly running with the guys trying to win it all.

So here's the irony, Eight Belles finished second behind the favorite, broke down, and was euthanized.

Just a random thought with no political endorsement. In fact, I wonder if Obama and McCain put any money on the race; it's kind of like asking if they put there money where their mouths were.
