He is on Fox News. He has "doubts" about Ohio. Did anyone expect this loser to actually concede?
He can't believe he didn't get the job he felt entitled to!
and paid for! Can he get a refund or something?
CNN: Romney not prepared to concede!
He's probably gingerly writing his concession speech and consistently smudging it with his tears.
Let him and Karl Rove just stew.
Even with Ohio AND Florida, he can't win.
According to Paul Ryan's math, he can. 2+2 = 149.

Basically, he's just not conceding so Obama doesn't get to make a victory speech tonight, right?
I wanna see coverage of the Repubs weeping wailing rending their clothes, any one know which station?
I have never been so anxious to hear Romney speak.

Apparently it's coming soon. I fully intend to watch.

They just said Fox that he's expected in the next six minutes or so.

Most of the crowd was reported to be from the cocktail, country club, owns a private jet circuit and boy, did they all look it.
For those interested, Ryan retains his House seat for Wisconsin.
FWIW, I thought it was a pretty gracious and classy concession speech.
Mitt Romney - showed his best side on the night he lost.
Nothing became him in his political life like the leaving of it.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with the Romney campaign taking their time before conceding. What bothered me was how Fox 'News' reacted to the call of Ohio. Every one of their pundits questioned the legitimacy of the decision that was made by every network, including their own.
In the end, Romney was very gracious and classy. The GOP crowd was also remarkably restrained.
Obama's victory speech was very moving, among his very best. I was astonished at Chris Matthews' reaction to Obama's speech; he was disappointed that Obama didn't do more chest thumping. I tried to watch MSNBC last night, but I had to change the channel every time he spoke. For me, he's as bad as some of the hacks on Fox.
I liked Mitt's concession speech as well.
madbrian, I'm tired of Chris Matthews. He has this horrible habit of asking his guests questions and when he doesn't like what they're saying he instantly interrupts them before they can get their point across.
The entire MSNBC panel had they been at reasonable energy levels seemed like they would have jumped on Matthews for that- but everybody looked pretty beat. IIRC, even Schultz and Sharpton who are far more partisan were like, "REALLY???????" That's not what this president is about.
He's just weird duck and having limited filter on him like election night is just asking for foot in mouth disease.

I thought MSNBC won the night- Maddow was a masterful master of ceremonies and I loved the McCain campaign manager's perspective.
Early in the evening he was outlining what it feels like to be on the losing side and Matthews said "Hey I bet YOU had to tell Palin she wasn't giving a concession speech- bet THAT was rough!"
And he said "Oh no. That was lots of FUN actually."
