I stayed up late last
night watching the election returns. I have been watching election returns
since 1964 when I was a 12 year old boy.
I am relieved the election is over and somewhat surprised. Although I voted for President Obama, in the
back of my mind I thought Governor Romney would pull out victory at the
end. I thought Governor Romney’s
concession speech was terrific. Here are
parts of it
“The nation, as you know, is at a critical point. At a time
like this, we can’t risk partisan bickering and political posturing. Our
leaders have to reach across the aisle to do the people’s work. And we citizens
also have to rise to the occasion. We look to our teachers and professors, we
count on you not just to teach, but to inspire our children with a passion for
learning and discovery.
And I ran for office because I’m concerned about America.
This election is over, but our principles endure. I believe that the principles
upon which this nation was founded are the only sure guide to a resurgent
economy and to renewed greatness.
Thank you, and God bless America”
