Obama, the closer

The folks at the Upper Deck trading card company says this here is called a parody.
Laughing yet?
The company released this hilarious card today of Hillary Clinton putting the move on Barack Obama that is supposed to be inspired by the image of Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon being hoisted by catcher Jason Varitek after the last out of the 2007 World Series (or is it closer to what happened last week when Jon Lester threw his no-no against KC?)
This, Upper Deck marking folks say, is supposed to be predict the outcome of the Democratic presidental nomination. Doubt you'll be seeing this actually played out at the DNC in Denver in late August.
The card has been randomly inserted into the Upper Deck 2008 baseball series two packs that hit the store shelves in early June.
