Sadly and with a heavy heart, here has been my analogy. Having owned race horses, here is how it is stacking up. The claimer, McCain, is parked four wide, six lengths behind the three year old phenom, Obama. They are at the top of the stretch and McCain is all in and he is not responding to the whip. Obama, is in full stride and the jockey is still having to hold him back.

I think that's a pretty poor/bad analogy. The race has been tightening for days now, with Obama losing ground. That's hardly being in full stride with a jockey holding him back. I'd say taht is more like being in full stride with Obama no longer responding to the whip.

While McCain maybe half a horse length behind and going all out, he is at least still responding to the whip. The question is can he pass the faltering Obama. jmo

THAT little story is the one the announcers made up because they had money on the yearling. The real horse-race is not what you heard on your old Magnavox.

And from someone else who knew Arabians, (King Solomon):

The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
But victory belongs to the LORD.

Also:
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help
And rely on horses, And trust in chariots because they are many
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD!
