Hillary "Eight Belles" Clinton's campaign needs to be put down.

"I hope that everybody will go to the derby on Saturday and place just a little money on the filly for me," Sen. Clinton told supporters in Jeffersonville, Ind., ABC News reports. "I won't be able to be there this year - my daughter is going to be there and so she has strict instructions to bet on Eight Belles."

Isn't that cute?

Unfortunately, Eight Belles came in second place to (I'm not making this up) a horse named Big Brown, suffered a fatal injury and had to be euthanized immediately following the race.

Could there be a better comparison to Hillary's campaign at this point? She ran a good race but she is in second place and is hopelessly damaged and needs to be put out of her misery, metaphorically speaking.
