Mitt Romney refuses to accept the outcome of Ohio and refuses to make his concession speech (he hasn't written one yet!!).
What are your thoughts?

He needs to speak so that President Obama can give his victory speech. We don't have time for tantrums!

CNN has Obama currently with 281 votes, and Romney with 201. 270 was needed to win.

ROmney needs to grow up. He wants a recount in Ohio, Virginia, Colorado and Florida. Cnn's John King just made a presentation that even with Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, and Florida, OBAMA STILL WINS!! He needs to grow the hell up and concede. He's lost other political races why should this be any different

Romney exhibits bitterness. The electorate are going to become bitter with him soon. His father missed the Presidency too and its become his lot as well. Wise up Romney and enjoy your billions. Obama has always been with the downtrodden and middleclass but not ya!!!

In the light of his conceding speech hereunder I now give him kudos.
MITT ROMNEY: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you so very much. Thank you. (Cheers, applause.) Thank you. Thank you.

I have just called President Obama to congratulate him on his victory. His supporters and his campaign also deserve congratulations. I wish all of them well, but particularly the president, the first lady and their daughters. (Applause.) This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation.

I want to thank Paul Ryan for all that he has done for our campaign -- (cheers, applause) -- and for our country. Besides my wife Ann, Paul is the best choice I’ve ever made. (Cheers, applause.) And I trust that his intellect and his hard work and his commitment to principle will continue to contribute to the good of our nation. (Cheers, applause.)

I also want to thank Ann, the love of my life. (Cheers, applause.) She would have been a wonderful first lady. (Cheers, applause.) She’s -- she has been that and more to me and to our family and to the many people that she has touched with her compassion and her care. I thank my sons for their tireless work on behalf of the campaign, and thank their wives and children -- (cheers, applause) -- for taking up their slack as their husbands and dads have spent so many weeks away from home. (Cheers, applause.)

I want to thank Matt Rhoades and the dedicated campaign team he led. (Cheers, applause.) They have made an extraordinary effort, not just for me but also for the country that we love. And to you here tonight and to the team across the country -- the volunteers, the fundraisers, the donors, the surrogates -- I don’t believe that there’s ever been an effort in our party that can compare with what you have done over these past years. Thank you so very much. (Cheers, applause.)

Thanks for all the hours of work, for the calls, for the speeches and appearances, for the resources and for the prayers. You gave deeply from yourselves and performed magnificently, and you inspired us and you humbled us. You’ve been the very best we could have imagined.

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.

We look to our pastors and priests and rabbis and counselors of all kinds to testify of the enduring principles upon which our society is built -- honesty, charity, integrity and family. We look to our parents, for in the final analysis, everything depends on the success of our homes. We look to job creators of all kinds. We’re counting on you to invest, to hire, to step forward. And we look to Democrats and Republicans in government at all levels to put the people before the politics.

I believe in America. I believe in the people of America. (Cheers, applause.)

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 a new greatness.

Like so many of you, Paul and I have left everything on the field. We have given our all to this campaign. (Cheers, applause.) I so wish -- I so wish that I had been able to fulfill your hopes to lead the country in a different direction. But the nation chose another leader. And so Ann and I join with you to earnestly pray for him and for this great nation.

Thank you, and God bless America. (Cheers, applause.) You guys are the best. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks, guys. (Cheers, applause.)

Umm worst concession speech ever. It wasn't planned. Romney was so convinced that he would win that he didn't write one up. So everything you saw on stage tonight was made up, the reason why it was so short

I see! So complacency and over-confidence rubbed him a bit? Eeyah! But as per †ђξ concession speech, does he need to write it down, we've always known these guys to be good orators not like our Nigerian....

They usually have two speeches prepared; victory and concession. Romney aids were blabbing about how they wouldn't need a concession speech lol. Romney's speech is probably the most authentic will ever hear him as that was one of the few times he was talking on the spot.

It's tradition!! Stupid republicans. First in 2008 Sarah Palin was willing to break tradition and make her own concession (VP's candidates never doo!) then Romney thought he didn't have to write one. Shortest concession speech I've seen
