James Romoser also noticed Edwards' failure to congratulate Obama last night.
In a post on his blog Trail Mix, the Winston-Salem Journal reporter notes that only after finishing what was "indistinguishable from a victory speech" did Edwards add, "Thank you for second place."
He says he asked Ed Turlington about the omission:
Turlington, the national chairman of Edwards’ 2004 campaign who is advising the current campaign, said he hadn't noticed it and wouldn't conclude too much from it. But it certainly does fit with the pugnacious style of Edwards, who often brags that he will never “give in” during a fight.
Over on Hunter's Tavern, WUNC reporter Laura Leslie also caught the omission.
"There was no concession in his 'concession' speech," she writes.
