Will go away in that very moment. I don't want to get ahead of myself(because I don't want to get too confident), but I can't wait for that moment. I will sleep like a baby.

I think Willard will just pull up stakes and go home (to whichever state he's pretending is home at the moment) without saying a word.

Then he'll flip-flop and claim he never did at 5:05pm
At 7:00pm, Romney will tell a crowded room of supporters and media he'll have an announcement at 8:00pm.
Fifteen minutes later, his campaign will issue a statement that Romney did not say he would announce anything at 8. In fact, Romney wasn't even out on the stage. You must be hallucinating.
At 9:30, Romney will take to the floor for some glad-handing and chit-chat and will change his position on abortion 3 more times, insult Canada, claiming its the worst of all our allies, and will appear to choke before spitting out the guacamole dip brought to the event by 83-year-old Gladys Hodgson (earlier honored as one of Mitt's special senior team leaders). He'll continue to get rid of all the taste by scraping his tongue with his hands.
At 11:30 pm, when the election is officially called for Obama, Mitt will run across the stage with his tie wrapped around his head, waving a half-empty 2-liter of Jolt Cola yelling, "You n' me, Hoss! We can take 'em!"
At midnight, Mitt will take to the stage, step to the podium and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a tough campaign, and while I strongly believe in whatever my last positions on the issues were, I have call President Obama to offer my congratulations and concede. Let this not discourage you, however, for.... BZZZT Missing audio file, error #008300678 Continue, Retry, Abort? BZZZT!

At which point the room will be cleared, and a statement issue the next morning conceding and congratulating the president, and for some strange reason, we'll never, eeeeeeeever see Mitt again...

20 minutes after it airs on FOX, CNN pundits will all cease to mention Romney in connection to the Republican party.

The type of personality he has just does not admit failure or defeat. He'll make a speech all right, but it will be something like "We'll wait until all the votes are counted" or something like that. I'm sure he would never consider making a call to Obama to concede. He will just disappear into thin air. Even if he does one final interview at the end of his life, when asked about this election he would probably say it was stolen from him by a combination of the liberal media and voter fraud.

Just like he ignored reporters' questions.

Hour after hour goes by...
the vote count trickles down to a few percentages left...

the media waits...
people saunder out of the campaign headquarters around midmight...
and finally...

"Apparently Mitt Romney has no intention of giving a concession speech"...

and the news media jumps all over it!

And am reccing for the hilarious answers. But seriously, I believe he'll send Ann out to brag on the wonderful campaign he ran (no one specifically will be thanked or acknowledged). And she'll be surrounded by the 5 sons, along with their families to give the illusion that he's actually there.

I don't think they could possibly lose face without claiming some election malady against them. I have no I idea when they will give in, but the race they have run so far has been so uncivilized they won't let it slide by without smashing every possible piece of furniture, smashing every window and stomping like the spoiled brats they are. There is no maturity among them.

I think this election has been the most unpleasant, ego-killing period in Mitt's life.

I think both he and Ann will disappear quickly and quietly.

But with Sandy all bets are off. I think some of the east coast states are going to take a long time to count ballots and it is possible you could see Hawaii and Alaska called before some of the states that were affected by the hurricane.
