Adviser: Romney "shellshocked" by loss
Adviser: Romney "shellshocked" by loss
........................
Romney was stoic as he talked the president, an aide said, but his wife Ann cried. Running mate Paul Ryan seemed genuinely shocked, the adviser said. Ryan's wife Janna also was shaken and cried softly.
"There's nothing worse than when you think you're going to win, and you don't," said another adviser. "It was like a sucker punch."
................................
Both wives looked stricken, and Ryan himself seemed grim. They all were thrust on that stage without understanding what had just happened.
"He was shellshocked," one adviser said of Romney.

Best reponse EVER!!
And 
from me!
Well Said! 
Two days later and their tears are still delicious 
...and family after the loss???? 
Either/or will do.
Those were the 1st thoughts that came to mind when I started reading the OP. Wise minds etc etc... 
Or from anywhere else than Guatemala.
Were they just completely sheltered in a Republican bubble? Do they really have so little idea of what's really going on in this country? It's bizarre. 
I find that statement particularly enjoyable.
Roves paperless electronic voting machines couldnt buy the election for you?
HAHAHAHAHA
oh yea, and big middle finger as well
I still hope Romney is investigated for tax fraud....put his ass on trial
Oh, and take Annfalka with you
Clueless to the end!
were publishing every day for free that the rest of us had. All they had to do was take a look at the numbers. Where they that dumb not to even take a peek? Or did they look and discount it? Whatever. The information was there for one and all to see. They ignored it at their own peril. They were not alone, by the way. Joe Scarborough and others on the right did the same thing. Looks like Nate and Sam got the last laugh on this one.
As for Mitt and Ann being shellshocked... 
that was pretty evident on Election Night when they wandered out on stage like a bunch of lost sheep. Even Mitt seemed uncharacteristically quiet and calm. (Was he medicated? We may never know, but he did have a kind of glazed look in his eyes.) And his speech was a bit too nice. If the words were his, he did come from a place inside that we've never seen before. More than likely, however, one of his underlings penned those words that have garnered him so much praise from all sides.
Now that the fireworks show had to be scrapped and Ann had to cancel the new china and drapes for her digs at the White House, may they all fade into the sunset and become footnotes in the annals of time. So long suckers. Don't let that screen door hit ya in the fanny, as we like to say here in the South.
Their decision to go for blue states like Pennsylvania and Minnesota in the last week of the campaign was not an act of desperation but of delusion. They really thought they had the swing states locked up.
These people are completely out of touch with reality. Imagine these idiots in the White House.
was actually going to work. Fucking lying ASSHATS. 
Oops.
I'm just thrilled it happened to them at that exact moment and not once the fix-that-did-not-work would have, once in the WH...
Perfect Timing! 
aligned as some would say.. like me. 
We're talking Call to Duty, Pounding sidewalk, working Hard on that Phone, and Lucky STARS!
Either they really do live inside an info bubble or they thought the fix was in.
I love it!
This thread is an instant classic.
How could these draft dodging low-life idiots know anything about what it means to be "shell shocked"?
& Welcome to the Democratic Underground!! 
I am so very glad that We the People did not allow these vile putrid piles of scum steal the election!!
& recommend.
it demoralizes their base and makes them less trusting of the party. You should hear the older men around my area whine...
Thank fucking gawd this entitled, plutocratic asshole lost.
Instead of internal polling.
It's an easy mistake to make.
