There shouldn't be any concession speeches in any of the primaries. Until there a nominee is decided there shouldn't be any. The only thing that should happen if anything is a candidate dropping out of the campaign.
I haven't seen any Presidential candidate give a concession speech after losing in each state they didn't receive the majority in the General Election.
They wait until the conclusion is evident that they haven't received the necessary electoral votes.
And some of these states may be regretting holding their primaries so early. Besides not having more focus in their states they may not be receiving the monetary advantage.
The later states that normally don't play much part in the deciding the nomination might this time around.
We will just have to wait until Super Tuesday is decided. Hillary or Clinton could WIN all of the states but the delegate count might be close and Edwards could keep it close too. I don't think it will but elections are won by those that make the fewest mistakes and that applies to primaries too. The difference is that a General Election is one big election. While the Primaries are many elections.
She was in Tennessee giving a stump speech. She basically read the statement she released earlier; took all of about 15 seconds then she moved on. I can understand her tactic though; very difficult to talk about such a terrible loss.
