Romney Planned Fireworks to Celebrate Victory

Mitt Romney had planned to celebrate his election victory with an eight-minute fireworks display over Boston Harbor, the Boston Globe reports.

"A permit filed with the City of Boston said the detonation could occur any time between 7 p.m. Tuesday, just after the first polls closed, and 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, which ended up being just before Romney conceded the race."

... and a thank you to his supporters.

That's what I'd do, even if I lost.

why can't he listen to other opinions?

This is actually scary. This means that had he been elected, his administration would operate as groupthink, the most famous one, of course, is that one that led to the Bay of Pigs.
