After reading this article on CNN, I found it ironic how people were beginning to comment about how Hillary has not congratulated Obama for his past victories. In the beginning of the race, both candidates were well mannered and offered a sentence or two within their speeches in order to congratulate each other on victories or successful campaigns. But now with the separation between the two candidates minimal, neither candidate is going to go out of their way to congratulate their opponent on a victory.
Being an athlete, the best way for me to relate this personally is to imagine loosing a match by two points, and then having to go into a press conference and congratulate the other team. You do not normally do it unless you are force to; instead you focus on improving yourself and your team for the next competition. With that being said, I do not think that it is a big deal that Hillary is not congratulating Obama on every victory. With the stakes as high as they are right now, I feel that Clinton must focus on her own campaign rather than appreciate and acknowledge the successful campaign of her running mate.
