Two nights in a row, Hillary refused to congratulate or acknowledge Obama after he won the contests that day in a big way.
On Tuesday in El Paso, hours after Virginia had been called for Obama, she stuck to her campaign stump speech and did not even mention his name, except in reference to his health care plan.
On Saturday night in Richmond, Virginia, Clinton spoke to a crowd of thousands at the state’s annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner, but she ignored Obama’s four victories in the primaries and caucus that day as well.
The courtesy of conceding a primary or caucus loss — and then congratulating your opponent — is by no means required. But it has become standard practice during campaign season.
This is yet another example of the kind of "change"
that can be forthcoming from Hillary.
