If one is going to compete for things, one has to know how to gracefully accept defeat.

I felt kind of sorry for him in his "I lost" speech. Both he and McCain looked so hollowed out post election, I felt sorry for them.

ETA: I think Mitt wanted to win just to acquire the title, not because he has any flaming ideals he wants to put into action. Mitt was in it for Mitt.

That was pretty much how it was with Dub-ya, too. Someone commented that there are leaders and there are rulers: Cheney-Bush didn't care about leadership, they just wanted to rule. That seems to be pretty much how the Radicals think any more.

I totally agree. I think Mitt was in a way in competition with his daddy. Mitt didn't really want to be governor of MA, either, as seen in that he pretty left office before his term was over and didn't run for re-election. He ran for governor because his daddy had been governor of MI. And he ran for president because his daddy failed to get the nomination. It took Mitt 2 tries to get the nom., so right there, he's out done daddy.

Glad he's done. Hope to never see another Romney in public office anytime soon.

well, that explains why he did such a freakin poor job at running for it...

Come on, he wanted it, he tried twice (this time he got farther).. those are not the actions of someone that doesnt want the job.. not to mention I expect it cost him a bundle of cash.. being the stingy dude he is, he wouldnt have done that otherwise

the poor guy is butthurt and his fragile ego battered beyond recognition.. come on people, show some compassion fer the guy!..

I will leave it at that.
