President Obama today, at field office in Chicago, making calls . . .We feel confident weve got the votes to win that its going to depend ultimately on whether those votes turn out, he said. And so I would encourage everybody on all sides just to make sure that you exercise this precious right that you have that people fought so hard for us to have.
I also want to say to Governor Romney, congratulations on a spirited campaign, the president said. I know that his supporters are just as engaged and just as enthusiastic and working just as hard today.
No matter what happens, I just want to say how much I appreciate everybody who has supported me, everybody who has worked so hard on my behalf, he concluded. And again, I want to congratulate Gov. Romney and his team for a hard-fought race as well.

(53,061 posts)1. another great picture.
The President got the guy next to him laughing so hard he reaches out to settle him down.
I am guessing the President screwed up the script by saying something like "I hope you will vote tomorrow".

such a class act. Can't imagine Willard paying compliments now....or ever. Maybe he will prove me wrong though.

(11,804 posts)3. Hard to say whether he should or not
He's done as a politician I think - so does he want to go the Elder Statesman route (in which case he should) or the Fox News/Sarah Palin route (in which case he shouldn't)?
I don't know - I would guess that his instincts are to go the Elder Statesman route - in which case he might well be gracious in defeat.
