(645 posts)EVERY candidate should have both ready, no matter what the polls show.
Unless this is just Fox bullshiting of course.

(2,140 posts)If one lacks the class and grace required to give a concession speech,one hardly needs to prepare one...
It's easy enough to prepare a concession speech in 20 minutes. It's likely just last second spin from the Romney campaign to make it seem like they're confident they're going to win.

(60,336 posts)That is why he didn't prepare a concession speech.
Either that or he knows where the election has been stolen.

(14,177 posts)Seriously I don't care. I am not going to listen to him anymore after he loses. Or, even if he wins. I am done with that lying sac O' chit. So, concede, cry, or whatever, just go home, R money pants.

(4,119 posts)So he can go from victory to concession as quick as going from pro-choice to pro-life.

(549 posts)He's got both. This way when he concedes they can all say "look at this guy talking from the heart.....not from a teleprompter like Mr. Obama!"

(3,370 posts)It's going to suck for him when he realizes he is on that stage to face his loss and not give his victory speech. I can already see Ann practically dry humping him as she is forced to hold him up.
I bet he'll say something stupid like, "We may have lost tonight, but I feel like we really won...blah blah blah..."

We don't need a concession speech - we just
want Mitt to go away.
