Romney: ‘It kills me’ not to be in White House
By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News
Mitt Romney says it "kills" him that he's not president. But he doesn't blame Superstorm Sandy, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie or anything else on his loss to President Barack Obama--except his campaign's failure to connect with minority voters.
“I lost my election because of my campaign," Romney said on "Fox News Sunday" in his first television interview since his November defeat. "Not because of what anyone else did."
The former Massachusetts governor refused place blame on Christie, who some Republicans say gave Obama a last-minute lift in his embrace of the president in the wake of the storm.
Romney said his inability to win over black and Hispanic voters--and the damage done by those disastrous "47 percent" comments--ultimately derailed his White House bid.
Ann Romney, though, pointed the finger at the fourth estate.“It was not just the campaign’s fault," Ann Romney said. "I believe it was the media's fault as well, in that he was not being given a fair shake--that people weren’t allowed to really see him for who he was. I’m happy to blame the media.”
Mitt Romney said President Obama has failed to lead on the sequester.
"He didn’t think the sequester would happen," he said. "It is happening. To date, what we’ve seen is the president out campaigning to the American people, doing rallies around the country, flying around the country and berating Republicans and blaming and pointing. Now, what does that do? That causes the Republicans to retrench and to put up a wall and to fight back.
"I'll look at what's happening right now, I wish I were there," he said. "It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done."
On election night, Romney said, he was "convinced" he'd win the election--until Ohio went in Obama's favor.
“It was a slow recognition until ultimately when the Ohio numbers began coming in and they were disappointing,” he said. “By 8 or 9 o’clock, it was pretty clear that we were not going to win.”
Romney, who has avoided the press since his loss to Obama, likened the election and its aftermath to an amusement park ride.
"We were on a roller coaster, exciting and thrilling, ups and downs," Romney said. "But the ride ends. And then you get off. And it's not like, oh, can't we be on a roller coaster the rest of our life? It's like, no, the ride's over."

lol, "I'm happy to blame the media"... boo-hoo.
lol Mitt saying it kills him that he's not president....so much for his son's BS story about how Mitt didn't really want to be president.
Mitt can be president of his yacht club.
It's wasn't just Mitt with the complete disconnect, tbh... I thought there were some external factors from the party that didn't help him either... like Akin or parading a cuban-american to appeal to latinos, etc...
We'll see if the GOP learned the lesson...
It even goes beyond people like akin acting an ass. The Republican Partys problem is that its basically a 4-way shotgun marriage between neoconservatives, Christian dominionists, the Ron Paul/Barry Goldwater libertarians, and rich people/corporations. There's plenty of overlap between groups, but it's mission impossible to try and keep all 4 groups happy and voting while also getting enough moderate votes. Movements like the tea party are simply gimmicks corporations orchestrate to try and unite all 4 groups but there are enough major differences between them where it doesn't work.
It's not the candidates or the campaigns that suck. Their ideas are why they can't win.
I think being a Mormon hurt him.
McCain had 4% more Mormon voters than Romney.
Although our candidates were pretty pathetic, he def wasn't the best option.
No sitting president should have gotten reelected with his numbers, regardless of how many journalists were on his side!
This was a complete fail on the conservatives. From day one of Obama's election, the GOP should have been building a base in all their known battle ground counties.
The GOP needs to quit appeasing the left and start acting like conseratives.
Or maybe it was his policy ideas (tax cuts for the rich, $2 trillion more in defense spending over the next 10 years, deregulating wall street again, etc.) are what hurt him.
Queen "You People" Ann lives in the 0.1% bubble, completely out of touch with reality. Never hear any right-wingers talking about the 1%'s "en lement" to the 99%.
6 Most Absurd Things the Romneys Said in Their First Post-Election Interview
1. Blaming Minorities’ Love for Obamacare
2. Romney’s Heart Lies to Him
3. Mitt Romney Thinks He Could Be a Better Leader Than Obama
4. Blaming the Media
5. Our Campaign Also Screwed Up--By Not Letting Mitt Be Mitt
6. Don’t Worry America--Mitt Will Continue to Offer His Sage Advice

America saw enough of these wealthy, snobby, detached, criminal tax evading, secretive clowns and kept the vehemently out of the WH.
Not enough votes. It's more like they need to stop scaring the center... especially on social issues.
lol Tagg
lol basically implying your father was unfit to lead
Repug/VRWC/ALEC strategy, with help for SCOTUS, is to gerrymander and disenfranchise to overcome the well-known, increasing demographics disadvantage.
It's The American Way of Democracy, worship of the rights in the Cons ution. We can't win, so we cheat.

So according to snc Mitt didn't lose because
- he wanted to destroy Medicare for everyone but the Baby Boomers (meanwhile younger generations still get to pay in for the Boomers' benefits)
- he wanted to slash the capital gains tax to zero for him and his criminal friends on Wall Street
- he thought tax cuts should only be for the rich
- his party tried to silence the minority vote
- he wanted to blow even more money on the military while nickel-and-diming that matters
Instead:
I loved the "We wouldn't be facing sequestration if he was in office!"... probably because the Republicans control the House, you dingbat.
How exactly are conservatives "appeasing the left"?
They still don't have a clue.
They've done mental backflips to convince themselves that supply side economics and out of control defense spending is what America would want if not for the media.So according to snc Mitt didn't lose because

Instead:
It's simpler than that: there's the old neoconservative fossils (I include the Christian dominionists and rich people as neocons) and the younger libertarian-leaning voters.... unfortunately, the GOP is completely dominated by the neocons, and will have no chance at winning the election ever again until the neocons GTFO, tbh....
