From Mark Nickolas:
Symbolically, the Kentucky Derby couldn’t have gone worse for Hillary Clinton (D). You might have heard Clinton touting the horse Eight Belles all week. It was the only filly in the Derby field of 20 horses.
Not only did Eight Belles amazingly pass 18 colts to finish in second-place, but she lost to a colt named Big Brown. Then, quite tragically, Eight Belles collapsed after crossing the finish line. Turns out she broke both ankles and had to be euthanized on the track, in front of all 150,000 fans.
A personal tragedy to the owners of the filly and sports fans. But a symbolic nightmare for Clinton.
In other news, Obama has unofficially won Guam by a whopping seven votes.
