Obama vs Clinton (the basketball version)

In this time of the NBA playoffs, I was struck by the fact that a basketball team can’t spin the way it plays to achieve victory. If the primary between Hillary and Barack were a basketball game, this would be the story in the paper the following morning.
BOTH TEAMS DECLARE VICTORY!
Last night in an amazing quadruple overtime time game, Hillary Prep School faced Obama High. The final score of the game was Obama 184 Hillary 168. In the postgame press conference the Hillary coach stated that she believed the final score did not reflect the actual victor. She was quick to point out that her team had possession of the ball 51% of the time to the Obama team’s paltry 49%. She also brought to light the fact that 2 of her players were forced to sit out the game due to the fact that they broke team rules prior to the game. She believed that had they been able to play, the outcome would be different. She thought that an automatic adjustment of score should be done to reflect this. After being questioned by a reporter, she also stated that due to the volume and rhetoric of some of the Obama fans, he could not win the championship. Therefore, she should be given the victory by the conference administrators. The Hillary assistant coach spent the night calling these administrators in an effort to get them to overturn the actual score. It would appear that this game will not be put to rest for some time. When a resolution is finally found, it will no doubt have come from the smoke filled rooms of the past, rather than the open dialogue sought by so many of today’s sports fans.

This comparison would apply with any sport in the world. Rule breakers cannot be rewarded by the rule makers without losing face. Old style politics cannot be allowed to overtake the fresh view of a young, invigorating form of politics. I will not vote for Hillary if she is nominated, and I can think of no one better than Obama to lead the country through the tough times and tough decisions that my generation will be forced to make.
