38. Exactly!
Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 07:05 AM by SoCalDem
When two teams battle it out at the Super Bowl, the losers hit the showers and board their plane for the long trip home.. They are not cajoled, caressed and comforted by the ones who beat them.. Reporters push past them to get to the winners... The big parade & confetti is for the winners...not the losers..

Politics is about WINNING...

Losers suck it up, and vow to try harder next time.. they concede graciously, and go home and then say nice things about the person who beat them..
It's just the way it's done, and someone at the level of HRC KNOWS this..

This is the single-most irritating thing about this race.. Obama has NEVER yet been able to crow..even a little bit about his win..he won the primaries, and was immediately thrust into the Clinton Dramas.. what would she do, what would she say, how was she feeling, would she concede, would she support him, would HE pay her bills, why wouldn't HIS supporters pay her bills, would Bill support him, what the hell is Bill saying now, what the hell is she saying now, will she upstage him at his convention, why is she still stirring the pot,..

I hope he was a wonderful vacation and tries to put his mind at rest for a little while, at least..
