Romney's concession speech - anything worthwhile in it?

[garthranzz]

I have a low tolerance for smarmy. I thought McCain gave a concession speech worth hearing. But I have doubts anything Romney said is worth the time. Worth a listen? Read a transcript? Or the malodorous misspeaking mendacity I would expect?

1. It was about as close to gracious as Willard can get

Very, very short speech and he seemed, well, perhaps medicated? The crowd tried to be supportive, but it was a very strained response.

2. It reeked of insincerity.

Robme couldn't read through it fast enough.

3. Not too much

There was one part where he praised Obama's family and the crowd cheered, which was nice but other than that, just a generic concession speech that he ran through very quickly. On the plus side, he seemed either drunk or like he had been crying for several hours before he went on stage (or both).

4. He looked weird

sort of like he was gritting his teeth and forcing himself to smile for most of the speech.

8. He looked like he was on

medication...

5. Pleasantly calm but robotic with those trademark head turns

He shape shifted admirably to suit the occasion and avoided any embarrassment. Did not seem at all disappointed or upset or strained but instead he seemed relaxed and more at ease than usual. Guess he had consoled himself by thoughts of the millions more he has raked in from those Bain media investments that are profiting from running all those campaign ads, and relieved he never had to reveal any more tax return details.

6. The part where he lost.

VERY worthwhile!

7. Everyone was praising how he blessed the President and his wife and kids

It sounded like a threat to me. But that's just me.
