HRC: "Full Speed Ahead"
INDIANAPOLIS -- Hillary Clinton relied on a host of racing analogies this morning as she visited the famed Indy Motor Speedway on a day that could decide the fate of her bid for the nomination.
Clinton came to the Indianapolis landmark to visit with Indycar driver Sara Fisher, a native Hoosier who endorsed the New York senator last week.
"We need to get on track in America, and head toward the finish line to change this country," Clinton said when asked what her election day message is. "There's a good driving analogy. If you want to move forward you put it in D. If you want to move back you put it in R."
Fisher quickly interjected that her car doesn't go in reverse.
"That's right, full speed ahead the whole time," Clinton said.
Asked if she'd stay in the race beyond today, she threw up a caution flag.
"I'm looking forward to find out what happens," she said. "I'm always interested in finding out what voters actually think, because there's all kind of speculation. It'd be like predicting who's going to win the Indy 500 before it's even started. We don't know. People prepare, they work hard, they do their best. Life is unpredictable, racing's unpredictable. Politics is unpredictable. So I'm just going to see what the voters have to say."

Another day, another bad analogy for Hillary Clinton's campaign. Please, Indiana and North Carolina, end Clinton's bid and put me out of my misery.
