The comments were a striking departure from McCain's...

Nevertheless, Clinton refuses to concede. Meanwhile, her opponent,...

Hillary Clinton is dead, at long last; it took one last excruciating election night, with CNN's John King doing his spastic Minority Report routine over a video map of Indiana, to finally do away with her.
