Hillary packs a punch, says she is like Rocky

New Delhi: The US Democratic race for presidential nomination is still a tough fight, and it may sound like round one for Barack Obama. However, but don't count Hillary Clinton out just yet.

Speaking in her campaign in Philadelphia, Hillary Clinton compared herself with the legendary Rocky Balboa — a fictional but resilient underdog boxer who eventually emerges a winner in the end.

Hillary likened herself to the character made famous by Sylvester Stallone in a series of movies titled Rocky as she was responding to calls from Obama supporters to drop out of the race.

The two senators however spoke in unison as they criticised Republican presidential candidate John McCain on the economy calling him untested on economic issues.

Both contenders will now be moving into Pennsylvania primary in three weeks. Obama, meanwhile, has won the Texas Caucus.
