Nice Try Governor, but Wrong Sport

Tennessee Governor Phil Bredeson seems to think that the comeback of Kansas in the NCAA men's basketball final provides a rationale for Hillary Clinton to remain in the race, but the analogy is a bad one. Because the political race involves a finite number of delegates, it is more like bowling than basketball.

While Barack Obama showed himself recently in Pennsylvania to be an inept bowler, the principles of the sport work in his favor. Ms. Clinton has already thrown enough balls in the gutter to make it impossible for her to catch up.
