I also don't understand why she has to hold out on conceding, as some kind of political leverage to getting the VP slot?... Why can't she just concede, and then let the VP deal be a separate issue? I guess I'm missing some part of the technicalities, here. |
No, you're not missing any technicalities... that's just how they play the game. She hasn't given an inch throughout the entire campaign and even tried to change the rules in her favor, so it's not surprising. Using it as leverage is exactly what she's doing, and if she doesn't get her way, I wouldn't be surprised if she refuses do endorse Obama at all.
