My guess on Romney's strange concession delay

[Mme. Defarge]

It struck me during the campaign just how transactional Romney and the Republican's worldview really is. The election boiled down to what tangible rewards voters were willing to pay for with their votes - either lower taxes or government handouts.

So, last night, Mitt and Ann, apparently quite confident that victory was immanent, secluded themselves with a few hundred of their most high-dollar supporters/investors at an invitation only formal affair. The guests undoubtedly were expecting their candidate to deliver an enormous return on investment. He let them down. It wasn't supposed to happen. This was a business deal gone terribly bad. And, an extremely embarrassing, deer-in-the-headlights moment for Mitt, who surely wanted to believe it was either a mistake or a very bad dream.

1. I think his voice was hoarse from screaming.

I had the same thing happen back when I had a temper.

3. Absolutely. He did not have the demeanor of someone who was stable..

his eyes were all red and weird, and he delivered that speech with that weird phony tone. Was not heartfelt at all. He is known for flipping out, I have a feeling he was upbraiding his staff for an hour.

5. I also noticed how his eyes were aways red, and wild looking.

8. Wow, a la Hitler's meltdown?

2. Ann will be spending days quieting Willard down.

But now he will have a long time to spend in his quiet room ............

4. WooHoo! WE WON!

We made it happen for President Obama!

6. Actually it was reported last night that the reason there was a delay

was that Romney had only prepared a victory speech and not a concession speech. They had to take a little time to cobble together concession remarks for him to give.

7. What an unprofessional campaign.

9. Stipulated: Dana Milbank is...

... most of the time, little more than a snarky asswipe with not much meaningful to offer.

However, I post again the link that the OP offered; it is a must, must - full - read.

... we truly didn't realize the magnitude of the sociopathic bullet that the office of POTUS escaped by the Obama victory.
