After Hillary Clinton compared herself to Rocky during a speech today in Pennsylvania, bloggers have taken it upon themselves to remind the New York Senator that in fact Rocky lost. And Rocky himself endorsed McCain.

But if one grants Clinton her metaphor, Obama must be Apollo Creed. Not unlike Creed, Obama is in a title fight that appeared locked up early, but is now going the distance.

There is one key difference between Obama and Creed. When Creed went 15 brutal rounds with Rocky his next opponent was not swinging at him from the ropes.
