It's hard not to be snarky today...

Here at The Pickle we try to look forward, not back. But given the difference between what actually happened last night and what would have happened had Hillary conceded that Barack will be the nominee and left the VP shenanigans for another day, it doesn't seem too indulgent to relay what Pickle contributor Sarah Rotman Epps* pointed out about last night:

Compare the video footage of Hillary hugging Bill vs. Obama hugging Michelle after their respective speeches. You can read their lips and see what they're saying.

Hillary to Bill: "Thank you."
Bill to Hillary: "You're welcome."

Michelle to Obama: "I love you."
Obama to Michelle: "I love you too."

Of course, Michelle's name is Obama also, but we'll let that slide. The important thing is that we're being snarky. It reminds me of my comment from Super Tuesday about how the McCains looked creepy hugging onstage, especially when contrasted with last night's Michelle/Barack fist pound.

OK, only general election posts from me from now on...
