Don't stay up late waiting for Romney's concession speech

He won't make one. Instead, once Obama crosses the magic 270 threshold Romney will go on television and say something like, "these are just early exit polls. We are certain that once all the votes have been counted that we will emerge victorious."

And he will continue to say this until after the Electoral College meets and declares Obama the winner.

We've already told him to not let the door hit him in the ass on his way out...perhaps he's a glutton for punishment?

Why would he come back here? This isn't "his state." It never was. He bought the governorship and was mocked and derided for his one lousy term. The legislature rode him like a rented mule. He was a laughingstock.

He'd be better off going to Utah, where he had his Olympic glory and people would be polite to him.

I don't expect him to be gracious or congratulatory, though.

he was a sore loser his whole life..

the only reason he's rich is that he can bully folks into thinking he's the kind of loser that has fun firing people.

Bill Bain did not put Romney in charge of Bain Capital because he has a kind and gentle way of restructuring companies. He was put there because Romney has no moral compass and can destroy people's lives without mercy. In five years expect Tech Sergeant Reese to scream at Sarah Connor, "Mitt Romney has no pity or remorse. He can't be reasoned with. He can't be bargained with. And he will not stop until you are dead." (Come to think of it...maybe he really is a Terminator.)

...if Mitt never calls the President to concede to him personally. I think Mitt would see this as beneath him.

Romney will never admit he lost. He'll claim the last half of the ballots that haven't been counted yet will all be for him (there's a button on an electronic voting machine that instantly reports the number of votes for each candidate, right?) or ACORN got too many illegal votes to the polls or Something that would make the Kenyan ahead when God's Chosen Candidate should be.
