    The Pretender

    Use a basketball game as an analogy. When the final whistle has blown, the players on the team that came up short offer their hands to the winning side, congratulate them on their win and move on. Hillary didn't even acknowledge on Tuesday night that Obama had won. Imagine a losing basketball player saying:"tonight I will make no decision about who won this game". Well, the decision is not up to her, it was made for her. She couldn't master the basic dignity of the loser congratulating the winner after a hard fought battle. She pretends that the primaries outcome is still up in the air. Now she is a double loser.
