Guest American Woman Posted November 11, 2012 Report Posted November 11, 2012 That's the word on the street. He never wrote a concession speech and had to do last minute. It happened to be his best and only likable speech of the entire thing. He was shocked to have lost, by all accounts. Whether his speech was likable or not, it doesn't seem to have gained him loyalty among all of his supporters as many are abandoning ship; if you go to his FB page and look at how many likes he has and look at the last 3 digits and then hit refresh you can actually watch the "likes" drop in number as his former supporters "unlike" him. https://www.facebook.com/mittromney Lots of people don't want to be associated with the loser, evidently. The same mentality that comes into play in sports - as a win is "we won" while a loss is "they lost." Quote
