Mitt Steps on McCain's Concession [David Freddoso]
It certainly wasn't a mistake. If this had been a race that ends here tonight — say, a governor's race — it would be awful. But Mitt played the brass-knuckles game here. It's to be expected.
The race isn't over yet. Romney is still well behind McCain in South Carolina — why let him look gracious in defeat when you can give your victory speech and pre-empt a free-media opportunity for your opponent? Yeah, maybe it looks mean, but this is what you do if you want to win. Politics isn't about making friends.
