Before I get into Mitt Romney's concession speech, I just want to mention the historic accomplishments of his presidential campaign: 

First Mormon to win the presidential nomination in the United States and I believe the first Mormon to win the nomination for chief of state anywhere in the world. (Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure of that) 

The first Republican to appoint an Irish Catholic or a Catholic of any ethnic or racial background in American history as Vice President in Paul Ryan. 

The first Northeastern Republican to win the Republican presidential nomination since 1992 with President George H.W. Bush. 

These are huge accomplishments for a Republican, especially considering how Southern and Evangelical the Republican Party has become. 

As far as Governor Romney's concession speech, I gotta give him as much credit as possible. He was someone who was expecting to win, even though I'm guessing some Republicans if you asked them off the record, after seeing some of the non-Republican polls in the last few days were feeling that a loss was very possible. Which is why the Romney Campaign made a last minute play for Pennsylvania. They knew they were in trouble in Ohio and the Governor did an excellent job of thanking his vice presidential nominee in Representative Paul Ryan, thanking his staff, volunteers and everyone who voted for him. 

Governor Romney mentioned the 50M plus Americans who wanted a change tonight, as well as congratulating President Obama and telling the country that the election is over and they need two work together to address the problems of the country.

"Sophia Loren Documentary and Interview. Interview with Barbara Walters, 1990."

From Gata Bella

Just look at Sophia Loren at this point in 1990. She is around fifty-six at this point and Barbara Walters looking very cute as always too, but Sophia Loren still a goddess at this point and looking great.

And if you look at how Sophia started out in Italy born in 1934 under the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini and how poor she and her family were in Italy and during a war-time and not worrying about how they were going to eat everyday and would they not have a place to live and everything else that comes from the hell of extreme poverty and then what she made of herself, it is an incredible life. That seems to of only of come out of Hollywood.

Sophia goes from extreme poverty war-torn Italy under a horrible dictatorship, to Italian and Hollywood goddess within less than twenty-years. Who else could’ve accomplished this and accomplish everything that she has to being one of if not the top Hollywood goddess of all-time and one of the best actress’s, singers, perhaps even comedians who has ever lived. And all of this coming after the hellish start that she had in life, where she has a father that she almost didn’t know at all and who out her mother through hell as well.

"When the Republican Party took back control of the House in 1994, a confluence of events combined to make it even more of a watershed moment than it would otherwise have been. The fact that the GOP had been out of power in Congress for four decades gave it an “underdog” storyline. Newt Gingrich, who [...]/p"

From Commentary Magazine

Assuming Mitt Romney loses tomorrow night and it hasn't happen yet, the Republican Party is going to have figure out where do they go from there, facing four more years of a Democratic President and at least two more years of a Democratic Senate.

Even if House Republicans hold the majority and a Democratic President who was reelected and if the economy takes off, which looks like it might in 2013 and the President avoids any serious scandals that can hurt his Presidency and popularity, perhaps popular reelected President who doesn't have to worry about reelection and will have the freedom to be more bold in the next two years, which is something Democrats were hoping for in the beginning.

So a reelected President Obama would have the authority to push an agenda that Republicans will of course disagree with that could have at least some popular elements in it and Republicans will have to figure out how to counter. President Obama under these circumstances.

Me as a Democrat and as an American would like to see the Republican Party get back to where they use to be. A fiscally and economically conservative party, as well as a socially moderate-tolerant Party, classical conservative even. Bring in the Ron Paul and Gary Johnson voters and be a real conservative party across the board which they aren't right now.

The modern Republican Party is an economically conservative party, thats more theocratic if not statist party on social policy. Something they tend to accuse Democrats of being on social issue. And aren't even very fiscally conservative, considering they believe that 1/6 of the. Federal budget, thats in one department, which is defense,  should be off the table in deficit reduction. And maybe Paul Ryan is that guy but I have my doubts.

"Pictures of the magnificent Sophia Loren."

From Gata Bella

When I think of goddess’s Sophia Loren is in the top one-percent of all-time and if not number one all-time, you can certainly see number one from where she is. And yes a big part of what makes Sophia a goddess is physical with the hot baby-face, the tall curvy athletic voice, the incredible feminine native-Italian voice. The way she moves, the way she sings, the way she talks. The way she presented herself and the fact that she knew she had all of these incredible physical attributes.

So she has all of this going on for her, with women who see her and are always jealous of her. But in Sophia’s case, we’re talking about someone who is a great singer and a great actress. Who also just happens to be one of if not the best looking women of all-time. So we are not talking about a bimbo, someone who is great to look at and perhaps jump in the sack with. But with the guy wanting to get away from her as soon as possible before his wife or girlfriend or finds out.

But also because mentally the bimbo does nothing for him mentally, other than someone to make fun of. Sophia is a goddess, physically, professionally and mentally.

National Review: Piers Morgan Tonight- Rudy Giuliani vs Wes Clark: 'Don't Mess With Rudy'

"Rudy Giuliani demolishes Wesley Clark on Piers Morgan last night."

From National Review

This is of course a very slanted video from National Review, with Mayor Rudy Giulani throwing out a lot of at best half-truths as it relates to President Obama and Libya, without hearing General Wes Clark's response to them. But the Romney Campaign has been going in this direction in the last few days, because they know they are behind in the Electoral College, President Obama is poised to win it with Governor Romney unable to take the lead in Ohio except for maybe in the Rasmussen Poll that leans Republican. And the Romney Campaign unable to pickoff a state that Democrats tend to win in at least lately, like Michigan and Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for President.

So what the Romney Campaign knows what they have been doing in trying to convince Americans in these swing States that Mitt Romney would make a better President is not working, so what they are doing now is trying to scare Americans into voting for Mitt Romney, because whatever positive message they may have about Mitt Romney is simply not selling in the swing states that they need to win.

From Right Coast Conservative

I don't know if I buy this. Yes there are young leftists in America (Democratic Socialists) who look up to Socialists like Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Dennis Kucinich. Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein and many other leftists and leftist groups. But there's also there's anti-big government mood in America of people who are under fifty or a little over even, that they don't want big government in their boardrooms and bedrooms and in their personal lives. As we are seeing with all the young people who now run or own small business's and startups. 

Young business owners and managers don't like high taxes and regulations and would like more freedom to live their lives and handle their own affairs. As we are also seeing with how young people feel about tolerance as it comes to homosexuality, same-sex-marriage, even, how legalizing marijuana is now popular with my generation and people younger as. Ron Paul and Gary Johnson have picked up on in their presidential campaigns.

There is this anti-big government mood that even looks Anarchist with a lot of young Libertarians that follow Ron Paul. But thats not the movement that Gary Johnson has picked up on as the Libertarian Party presidential nominee. What his campaign is about is not gutting the Federal Government but making it leaner and making it more effective and less centralize. Not ending social insurance programs, but giving the people and States more power and flexibility and the ability to run them. Thats what he's running on. There are young leftists where socialism looks good to them. But to say thats where the mood of young people is right now, is I believe a big stretch as someone whose still young myself, relatively.
