Moments ago, James Rosen of Fox News compared Rick Santorum’s underdog campaign to Rocky Balboa, the ultimate underdog pugilist. “With the knockouts he scored last night, Rick Santorum is the Rocky Balboa of the 2012 cycle. Ipso facto, that makes Mitt Romney Apollo Creed, and Newt Gingrich maybe Paulie or Clubber Lang.” Which leaves Ron Paul who, in my opinion, is the Mickey of the race.
In 1968, the Democrats had McCarthy and RFK fighting and winning/losing states between them.
In a contest for orthodoxy, the only thing certain is that hard intramural feelings are made keloid.
After RFK's death, McCarthy couldn't get the RFK voters who were alienated from his candidacy after the primary rages.

HHH came and stood in for the loss.
Beware of seeking purity from The Pythia.

Seriously, though, this analysis leaves no place for Barack Obama. Ivan Drago, perhaps?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSounds about right.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGood grief, again with the terrible still of the video. Was this really the best shot the video editor could muster?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI find Mitt Romney to be a pale imitation of Apollo Creed. Perhaps Apollo Lite.
That being said, Apollo wins the fight in Rocky
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseSo, that would mean that the GOP establishment and those scribes who are smarter than everyone else, collectively, serve as Adrian, right?
"YOU CAN'T WIN, ROCKY!"
That's what they've been shouting about Rick since he announced he was seeking the nomination.
Yo, Adrian! He unites the party far more than your Ivan Drago -- Willard M. Romney -- who, like Ivan, is said that he cannot lose.
(I guess that makes Ann Romney Drago's wife, who was Stallone's wife in real life. I forget her name. Minus the supermodel status, of course.)
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseGreat, now I keep hearing Romney sneering "I must break you" to Santorum.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAnd then came back and won. Maybe the loss was the Senate race?

Reply to this commentLinkReport Abuseron paul is more like the robot in rocky 4 - weird and out of place and just thrown in for comic relief.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI'm sure this is all racist code for something, but can't quite figure out how. Gotta tune into that network no one watches to find out!
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseOh good grief. Gingrich is Thunderlips.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhat's wrong with you people?
'Cause he's Italian? LOLOL.
If I were his wife I'd crack up over that one.
