Why The Tears?

.
Some of the morning papers report that David Miliband’s wife reacted with tears and ‘absolute fury’ at the ‘betrayal’ by those whose votes resulted in Ed Miliband becoming Leader of the Labour Party. Speculation is also rife as to what David Miliband will or will not do now that he has lost the leadership election.

No election, or very few of them, is a foregone certainty so one of the Miliband brothers was bound to be disappointed at not being elected Leader, and it follows that the wife of the loser would also be disappointed.

It was a guaranteed cast-iron certainty that one of the brothers was going to lose, so why the disappointment and tears? Or is it because the loser thought his election was in the bag?
