City Councilman Robert Jackson, an avid runner, has a metaphor (exhortation?) for the Clinton campaign.

“You run the best race you can and you finish the race," he said.

And where exactly is that finish line?

“I think the finish line is Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania," he said. "If it’s not done by then, it’s basically over.”

Moments later, he grabbed my arm and emphasized that he really hopes she wins those races.
