From The Daily Howler, Lisa Caputo on last night's Verdict with Dan Abrams. Abrams hyperventilated about why Hillary didn't concede and endorse Obama on Tuesday evening:
ABRAMS (6/4/08): I mean, there were people on our air today, Charlie Rangel was on our air today, talking about this, saying–but expressing–and look, whether you agree with them or not, they felt that [Hillary] should have been, said different things last night.
CAPUTO: But you know what, Dan? With all due respect, let’s just put this in a historical context, if you would. Bill Bradley got out of the race in March and didn’t endorse Al Gore until July.

CAPUTO: No. But hold on! Why is there a different standard for Senator Clinton?
Excellent question.
