Did the patriots have to give a concessions speech before the Giants were considered the winners? Yes, I know this is politics, but the person with the highest score still wins, regardless of whether the other person officially concedes.

1. No, her concession clarifies she will not try to continue to argue her way into...
...the convention.

5. I think only Hillary will speak for herself.
We will hear this and that all day long, but only one person can give the word.

8. She can move out of the way of the O-train or get run over. Either way, she's history. n/t

10. Drama Queen
Where was this "tenacity" when it came to the IWR? Not even bothering to read it.
Most of her berserker supporters are projecting all their lifelong frustrations onto "The Hillary". Somehow if she wins, it will be a "in yer face" to their ex-husbands "see, I could be president, now where is my alimony check"'?

12. It speaks volumes about Hillary
and underlines the seeming void of character,
grace and good sportsmanship.
I hope she proves me wrong.

13. She needs to concede.....
not tonight, but she needs to concede and get in there and start some healing among her supporters. What we saw this past weekend wasn't OK (take that any way you want). She needs to make it clear that her candidacy is finished and make it clear that she's supporting the nominee. She needs to make it clear (again -- I know she's done it) that voting for McSame is NOT okay and she needs to keep doing it. If she doesn't graciously concede and support the nominee, she'll be helping McSame.

15. But the Pats did get off of the playing field and let the Giants have it to themselves
when the game was over according to the rules.

16. Yes, because her supporters need closure
So that they can "move on". They need to be helped to let go of the myth that she's perpetrated that has allowed them to cling to her over the past several months so that they don't have to spend the next 2 months clinging to a hope of something that will not come to be, only to be disappointed a mere 9 weeks before the general election, left with their disappointment, anger and failed dreams.

17. It matters to me. I am sick of the fighting. I want the GE to start tomorrow so
I can fight off the GOP with all my DU peeps by my side.
