Hillary Rodham Clinton may very well be a damnable socialist, congenital liar, and conniving bitch, but I hasten to point out that she has her faults as well.

Take, for instance, her idiotic victory speech in Indiana on Tuesday night. The woman had just been trounced by double digits in North Carolina and in Indiana, a state she was supposed to win, it was still “too close to call!”

Yet there she was, thanking Indiana, and all Hoosiers who voted for her for this miraculous comeback victory–still too close to call, but what the hell do facts matter when one is on national TV and is itching to announce her color schemes for redecorating the Oval Office?

The only distraction from the triumphant candidate was her beloved Bubba, the original comeback kid, who never strayed more than two inches away from the TV cameras, which were supposedly there to capture this historic moment.

If that is the Democrats’ idea of “victory,” November may turn out far better for Republicans than is widely forecast.

A sports analogy may be useful. In August of 1951, the Brooklyn Dodgers held a 13.5 game lead over their archenemies, the New York Giants. In the infamous words of Dodger manager Chuck Dressen, “The Giants Is dead!”

But lo and behold, the fortunes of the two teams inexplicably reversed and the entire season boiled down to a single playoff game in the Polo Grounds in early October. The one game playoff would decide the pennant and the National League’s entry against the New York Yankees in the World Series.

In the bottom of the ninth inning of the fateful game, the Dodgers held a 4-1 lead and seemed sure to advance to the Fall Classic. But the Giants chiseled away until the Dodgers brought in Pitcher Ralph Branca to pitch to Giant slugger Bobby Thompson.

On the second pitch from Branca, Thompson launched the “Shot Heard around the world,” a three-run home run that gave the Giants the pennant and a trip to the World Series.

If Ralph Branca had been as addled as Hillary, he would have called a press conference after the dust settled in the Polo Grounds to announce a Flatbush celebration to crown the Dodgers spectacular win on the way to the World Series!

The big difference is that baseball is a kid’s game watched by grown men, whereas presidential politics, especially in 2008, are literally life and death for America and the American people.

Word of wisdom to Hillary: Concede the game to the man from Illinois. You have had your moment in the White House, time to let the black player get a shot at the winner’s circle!
