U.S. Election: Romney fits a defeat and lost the White House


For the first time since 1972, a ticket, the Republican does not win their respective states and ask people putting politics.

Mitt Romney

"I congratulate President Obama on his victory. Appreciate all the support I have received in the campaign for me and this great country. Citizens must lead the challenges facing America before it in the coming years." With these words, the Republican candidate for the U.S. elections, Mitt Romney, conceded defeat and congratulated Barack Obama on his reelection.

He added: "We've given everything in this campaign and hope thousands of compatriots to work together to improve this great country." "President Obama called to congratulate him on his victory," Romney said from his campaign headquarters in Boston.

A serious Romney, it took over an hour and a half to speak out after the Democratic president revalidate command in the White House, expressed his hope that Obama has "successfully" complete recovery in the country, while he a call to unity. "These are challenging times for America and pray that the president is successful in leading our nation," said the defeated Republican candidate, who also asked his followers to "pray" for the same reason. Romney expressed the hope that the leaders of both parties know "hand lie" to do together "work that has put the population."

Mitt Romney said he had written a single speech on the flight midafternoon returned to Boston, where he continued the count in the Westin hotel with his family, and was the victory. A decision to the gallery because finally touched my speech of acceptance of the result and a half hours after the main U.S. television networks preached the reelection of Barack Obama. This time, unlike in 2000, no way would rush and suspense lasted hours.

Mitt Romney chose a short and emotional speech to supporters at the Boston Convention Center, just ten minutes, full of dignity, with several appeals to God and what he called "pillars" of the United States: charity, integrity and family .

The loser said he had congratulated the president, his wife and daughters as his wife Ann stressed that "would have been a wonderful first lady."

In the hour of defeat, Romney called on Republicans and Democrats to "putting people into politics." He explained that if he had aspired to the White House is "because I worry about America." In the climax of the speech, Romney was very personal: "Paul Ryan (his number two on the ticket) and I have been all over the field."

Finally, among cheers and chants of "Mitt!, Mitt! Mitt! ", The candidate was surrounded by his wife and five children, including one of his 18 grandchildren, even though the clock was the one in the morning on the East Coast, to close a strenuous campaign yesterday still remained.

Mitt Romney's defeat had two sides during the election recount that lasted all night: the success of the popular vote in four previous occasions, the winner of the nationwide vote had not won the White House and the embarrassment of that he and his ticket mate, Paul Ryan, won their state fiefdoms, Massachusetts and Wisconsin. Although late in the count, Romney beat Obama in the popular vote.

For Mitt Romney was anticipatable-the state has a strong vocation but Paul Ryan Democrat was elected precisely to deliver the votes of the Electoral College in Wisconsin.

Since the disastrous 1972 campaign of the late George McGovern, the last progressive sense of the 60s, a ticket had never played in the two states.

The defeatist atmosphere was winning the Boston Convention Center, a spectacular building designed by architect Rafael Viñoly Uruguayan chosen by Mitt Romney to welcome the verdict when victory in Florida was delayed and the first states to opt hinge (Michigan, Wisconsin and New Hampshire) did so on behalf of Barack Obama.

The staff of Mitt Romney stopped answering phone calls from journalists and were useless statements "barons" Republicans by CCTV trying to highlight the most favorable projections.

To make matters worse, the Democrats retained control of the Senate and close to the Boston Convention Center, the Democratic candidate for the seat of Senator from Massachusetts occupied by a Republican after the death of Ted Kennedy in 2009 regained the seat, so loaded of symbolism.

Incidentally, Democrat Elizabeth Warren became the first senator in the history of the state of Massachusetts.
