Obama neglects to congratulate the winner in Nevada then ditches state.

Anyone else detect an air of brattiness oozing out of the Obama camp when they lose an election? His concession speech in New Hamphire while inspiring - of course - was also hardly a concession speech. He did not congratulate Senator Clinton after losing to her in Nevada. He then ditched the state immediately. For all his alleged style points - not congratulating the winner is TACKY. He also complimented RONALD REAGAN and NOT Bill Clinton. Wow. That is pushing your nose against the asshole glass in a Democratic caucus state.

The fact is that Obama has never had to be in a competitive race. He either used insider tactics to clean the slate of competition, as we first learned here - or ran against Alan Keyes.... He's getting a taste of REALpolitics now.

He should win South Carolina - but because his team misplayed the race card - it may be an empty victory perceived by the nation as "African American voters voting for an an African American because he is African American." This unfair - but real - perception is his own fault.
His people manipulated Clinton's remark about the necessity of a strong executive - in this case LBJ - to inflame old wounds.
