Romney concedes FL

I called it FIRST!

http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2012/11/mitt_romney_concedes_florida.php

Says Florida Romney campaign head Brett Doster, via statement:

"The numbers in Florida show this was winnable. We thought based on our polling and range of organization that we had done what we needed to win. Obviously, we didn't, and for that I and every other operative in Florida has a sick feeling that we left something on the table. I can assure you this won't happen again."

You said it wouldn't happen THIS time. I can assure you that it probably will happen again.

Those long lines are a disgrace. If not for early voting, we'd have had the same dishonest outcome as in previous elections.
