ROCKY BALBOA
Who doesn’t love a forced analogy? So, if Apollo Creed was New Hampshire, and Ohio and Texas were Clubber Lang, then the Pennsylvania primary was the high stakes bout against that juicing Commie Ivan Drago. In each big state, Clinton, like Rocky, took some blows, but delivered the knockout just before the bell. She should take a symbolic run (okay, walk) up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum to drive the point home.
THE THIRTEEN COLONIES
The revolutionaries were losing to the British Navy until the Red Coats tried to take the battle to the land. Starting in Saratoga, New York the Yanks gave ‘em a shellacking; Hillary’s drive for world domination began in upstate New York as well. Nice parallel.
ELI MANNING
After two seasons that felt like one big interception, he caught up with the pros and brought his hapless Giants to the Super Bowl, beating barely-even-scored-against New England. Of course, Hill might not want to side with anyone who beat up a Patriot.
HALSTON
With Versace-alum Marco Zanini designing, the label that hasn’t been relevant since Bianca Jagger was hot is now back on the runways, and on every savvy fashionista’s radar.
