It must be easier as the winner to extend a word of praise to the loser. And I thought that that was borne out this evening by Barack Obama's praise, fulsome and deserved of Hillary Clinton: he was generous to a fault. Her speech, on the other hand, when it is clear that he has won, was short of recognition of that fact: had I not known that she had lost the nomination, I might have taken it for a victory speech.
And her words of him? They were few. Kind, perhaps, sort of, but few.
I think that she bought herself not being offered the VP slot this evening.
Yours, politely,
N.
