I have to agree with Reihan - you could write a whole dissertation about this:

Wow.
you could write a whole dissertation about this
And yet you can't even manage a complete sentence about it?
Doesn't Rocky lose on points? That certainly doesn't bode well. Unless it's meant to be just about Pa.
Crrreepy.

Ross, why does your blog draw so many d-bags?
I don't know Tony - why does it?
I don't recall asking you, Tiparillo, if that even is your real name...
and baracky may win the nomination in the end, but after "clingate" (not included in the vid), i doubt he'll win pennsylvania.
Best Mashup EVAR!
Actually, it was Chilly Hilly (aka Frigidaire) who initially compared herself to Rocky but regardless this mashup does justice to Obama's campaign and the man himself. And yes, fer you purists, Apollo Creed did win a split decision in the original flick but that aint gonna happen here.
"Barack Obama is a once in a lifetime candidate"

PA Rep and only veteran of the Iraq War to serve in DC.
Obama's campaign is based on assessing much needed changes and approaching the problems with a sense of clear eye optimism and yes, hope.
Hillary runs an inauthentic campaign based on Rovian fear mongering and LCD tactics aimed at the least informed "Beer Dem's in the electorate.
She is a cynical creature.
"Cynicism is a poor form of Wisdom"
~Barack Obama.
G08ama!
Be Well.
It's true that Rocky lost in the first movie, but the mashup contains many scenes from the second movie, in which Rocky wins in a rather spectacular fashion. Maybe one could see Super Tuesday as Rocky and the actual nomination as Rocky II.
This is to funny!!!!!
Awesome video.

No.

Doesn't the second movie end with Creed and Rocky knocking each other senseless for the entire fight, and then knocking each other out in the final round, with Rocky barely managing to climb back to his feet before the ten-count?
That does seem like a good analogy for the Democratic primary campaign.
Whatever, re Rocky. This was a brilliant piece of video. Chilling, bizarre but extremely compelling and ultimately inspiring. Tight editing, dramatic, and a stunning animation sense. Plus the clips of Hillary are terribly revealing. Terrific piece.
