On Hillary Undermining Obama's Victory

There's been some agita in the left blogosphere over Hillary's ungracious way of conceding by continuing to claim that she won the popular vote and therefore has some claim to the nomination. Some bloggers say that this somehow undermines Obama's legitimacy as the Democratic nominee. I don't think this is the case. It seems to me like everyone - the rest of the Democratic party, the Republican party, the media, many Hillary supporters - are ready to move on to the general and are no longer paying attention to her. I'd prefer if she didn't make those remarks, but even if she does she'll just sound whiny and no one will care.
