It’s like the pitcher who comes in and gives up 7 runs in two-thirds of an inning or the kicker who blows a potential game-winning 27-yard field goal with four seconds left. The opposing team heralds these players as heroes of their cause.

Right now, Hillary Clinton and her supporters, whether intentionally or not, are turning out to be the Democratic Party’s Byung-Hyun Kim to John McCain’s New York Yankees in the ‘01 World Series.

Since the primaries began, there has been, no matter how much they deny it, a lack of unity in those who collectively look to defeat John McCain come November. Now this rift that they have been feigning to mend could potentially give the Republican senator some breathing room against his Democratic counterpart, Barack Obama, as the two race towards the White House.

Even though it would prove a futile investment, some delegates who pledged themselves to the senator from New York, are staying true to that commitment by planning to cast their votes for Clinton at the DNC.

Add to that the use of footage of Hillary Clinton during the Democratic Primaries in a new ad for Senator McCain. In the footage it appears sounds like Clinton would prefer McCain to Obama.

Speaking of experience, Clinton said, “McCain brings a lifetime of experience, I bring a lifetime of experience.” And what about Obama? He brings “a speech he gave in 2002.”

Of course she denies feeling that way anymore and says her support is with Obama &100. I believe her, after all, they were embroiled in a heated fight for the Democratic nomination.

But now, it might be too little, too late. Despite the offensive explosion of Senator Obama during the primaries that catapulted him to this point, his bullpen that should be helping to close the door on the McCain campaign, they are serving up beach balls that McCain and Co. can knock right out of the park.

But there maybe hope yet for the Democrats who support Obama. If you know your baseball history, you’ll remember that the Diamondbacks, despite Kim’s great help to New York, rallied to win the Fall Classic in one of the most dramatic finishes of all time.
